Run Coordinator and Target Expert Schedule

Longterm Run Plan

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • In case of medical or fire emergency, call 9-911 from a LANDLINE phone in the Counting House
  • If you have symptoms or a positive COVID test, do NOT come to your shift - instead, inform the PDL and the RC and JLab medical services immediately so that replacements can be arranged
  • Recently there were several reported cases of COVID on the JLab campus. Everyone is strongly encouraged to wear a face mask while in the counting-house.
  • If needed, worker shifts can also be taken from off-site - again, inform the PDL and RC. Also, make sure that you follow the instructions under the "Worker Shift" Tab - you need some lead time to set up!
  • Before leaving the hall and going to beam permit check that dome lights, forward carriage lights, and pie tower lights are OFF
  • NEW: We have a new policy NOT to leave the beam viewer in the beam at all times, to avoid damage to electronics, cameras etc. Please REMOVE the beam viewer unless we are actively tuning the beam or calibrating beam position/raster.
  • NEW: We have a new FSD condition that the raster is operating.
    • IF there is any ammonia sample (NH3 and ND3) in the target, the raster MUST be operating at all times. The Raster FSD must be UNMASKED. Orbit locks MUST be OFF (except for brief moments to restore beam position).
    • For beam tuning or other non-rastered beam, the Raster FSD must be MASKED.
  • NOTE: It should no longer be necessary to quit RasterMon at the end of each run and restart after a successful "Go" for the next run, but if DAQ crashes, you SHOULD follow these steps, and the same for mon12. Make sure there is ONLY ONE INSTANCE of RasterMon AND mon12 running anywhere in the Counting House.
  • REMINDER FOR ALL EXPERTS: Please take care to fill out the BTA carefully and correctly. The info from EPICS is not always correct, e.g. when taking data with low beam current, you should change the ABU to the proper (estimated) time by hand instead of simply accepting "0" if you are actually taking data.

Run Plan: July 2022

GENERAL INFORMATION

  • We should change the HWP ("lambda/2 plate"), after a full day of useful data on NH3 or ND3. WE MUST INFORM THE OTHER HALLS WHENEVER WE DO THAT
  • We should reverse the target polarization after every TWO days of good data taking. So the sequence is "1 day on ammonia, swap HWP, one day on ammonia, flip target polarization, one day on ammonia, swap HWP, one day on ammonia".
  • Moller runs should be taken with 10 nA.
  • Do a RICH Recovery procedure only once a day during day shift (in between runs) if everything is okay. If a RICH problem occurs, you might have to do the RICH Recovery procedure also (see below).
  • After each change of running conditions (target type, luminosity): Please check that the trigger alarms (on rate/nA) are set appropriately and change them as needed.

ONGOING ISSUES

  • x-Raster power supply oscillations
  • Small deuteron polarization / NMR signal (fixed on 7/21/2022 by J. Maxwell)

Short Range Plan

Wednesday 27th July

  • Take production data on ND3 negative at 4 nA

Thursday 28th July

  • PD confirms that beam studies will go ahead (day shift)
    • Confirmed works:
      • CTOF helium poisoning studies - Daniel
    • Thursday there will be an RF recovery day. We will anneal the target and then flip the solenoid field and repolarize ND3 (negative). I propose to take a Moeller run when beam comes back, and then resume ND3 negative data taking.


5-pass (10.55 GeV) Running conditions

  • Torus at 100% current, inbending electrons. Setpoint = +3770 A (Readback = +3766 A)
  • Solenoid setpoint +2417.5 A
  • Establish optimal compromise between raster size (if possible, 7 mm radius), luminosity (goal: <5 nA, nominally 4.0 nA), and background.
  • Run duration 100M events or 4 hours, whichever comes first.
    • For empty target runs, increase beam current as much as possible (up to 15 nA).

DAQ configuration

  • Configuration PROD66, trigger file rgc_300MeV_v1.3_no_DC.trg
  • NOTE: UNLESS a RICH problem crashes the DAQ, do NOT interrupt an otherwise smooth run to do a RICH recovery - instead do this in between runs.
  • NOTE: BOTH the shift expert AND the shift worker MUST check and reset monitoring histograms at least once every 30-60 minutes to make sure there are no major detector problems.Watch the raster pattern!
  • At the end of each run, follow the STANDARD DAQ RESTART SEQUENCE:
    • "end run", if the run ended correctly then: "prestart", "go"
    • if the run did not end correctly or if any ROCs had to be rebooted:
      • Quit ALL running instances of mon12 and rastermon
      • "cancel", "reset"
      • "configure", "download", "prestart", "go"
      • restart mon12 and rastermon
  • After each step, make sure it is completed in the Run Control message window. If a ROC has crashed, find which one it is, issue a roc_reboot command ON JUST THAT ROC and try again. Contact the DAQ expert if there are any questions.

References and Standards

Solenoid set-point of 2417.5 A results in read back 2419.57 A and exactly 5.00 T field on center Raster settings

  • x: Vpp=2.2 V offset =-0.3V (changed Vpp x & y from 2.1 to 2.2 V on July 19 for ND3)
  • y: Vpp=2.2 V offset =+0.25V (changed from +0.4V on July 14, changed from -0.1 on July 1 at 21:00)
  • Fundamental Period = 1 s
  • The correct raster calibration constants should be automatically loaded by rastermon - see https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4004055 - if not, enter them through "Config" by hand.

Nominal Beam Positions

  • 2H01, X = -2.3 mm, Y = +1.2mm (Changed from 1.8 mm 7/14/22)
  • 2C24, X = -2.0 mm, Y = +0.6 mm
  • Orbit lock ONLY if raster is OFF

FSD Thresholds (to be updated)

  • Upstream: 2000 Hz
  • Midstream: 2000 Hz
  • Downstream: 100000 Hz
  • BOM: 1000000 Hz
  • 5 ms dwell time

Reference Harp Scans for Beam on Faraday Cup 2H01 [1]

Reference Harp Scans for Beam on Tagger dump 2C21 [2], tagger harp [3]

Reference Monitoring Histograms

Counter rates

  • Upstream counters integrated rates: 0-15 Hz (acceptable up to 100 Hz are acceptable) @50 nA.
  • Midstream counters: 10-20 Hz (acceptable up to 50 Hz) @50 nA.
  • Counting rates of ~ hundreds of Hz may indicate bad beam tune or bleed-through from other Halls.

Known issues

  1. ECAL: ECAL_HV_SEC2_WI_E36 is off as it does not hold voltage
  2. tdcecal6 and tdcecal1 rocs: These rocs could show errors in the DAQ screen. If so, check roc-rates, trigger rates and monitoring plots. If all looks okay, continue data taking.
  3. DC: hole in sector 3, superlayer 6, would likely need a major physical repair on the chamber itself


NOTE: BOTH the shift expert AND the shift worker MUST check monitoring histograms at least once every 30 - 60 minutes to make sure there are no major detector problems.

  • Follow the [Short Term Schedule] as outlined by RC
    • includes Run Plan, DAQ configuration, and References and Standards
  • Keep shift summary up to date in HBLOG. Record all that happens.
  • Polarized target issues: In all cases contact the polarized target expert on call. Examples to keep an eye on:
    • Ice on the run valve
    • NMR running
      • The JLab Polarization Display is seen via a VNC window in the counting room. Here, the NMR Controls' blue bar should be moving, indicating that the NMR is running and the polarization is measured. If the NMR is not running, contact the expert on call.
    • Alarms from System RG-C Polarized Target (alarm handler). If you get an alarm, ...
  • Do a RICH recovery (press the RICH Recovery button on the GUI) once daily during day shift, between runs. Please log in shift summary.
    • Note the automated "RICH Recovery" sequence already confirms RICH4 is up and accepting ssh connections before claiming success. And it also prints out that you have to "Cancel->Reset->Configure->Download->Prestart" before starting the next run.
  • Fill out BTA hourly. Click "Load from EPICS" to automatically fill the left side then correct as needed.
    • Accelerator beam time:
      • ABU: acceptable beam used (eg harp scans, calibrations, trigger settings, running)
        • The info from EPICS is not always correct, e.g. when taking data with low beam current, you should change the ABU to the proper (estimated) time by hand instead of simply accepting "0" if you are actually taking data.
      • BANU: beam acceptable but not used (eg radiator change or our problems)
      • BNA: beam not acceptable (eg tuning, drifting, not focused)
    • Experiment beam time
      • ER: experiment ready
      • PCC: planned configuration change (when beam is masked while radiators are moved, DAQ (roc rebooting, restarting runs)), if more than 5 minutes, put a short comment, eg harp scans or DAQ.
      • UED: unplanned experiment down (hardware failure)


In case of other questions or uncertainties of what to do, call the RC or PDL

(remote) shift worker: see dedicated Worker Shift tab above.

For REMOTE Shifts (offsite):

Shift Worker Tasks

Every Run:

  • With beam present, log screen shots of:
    • Beamline Overview, in VNC or Web Browser
    • RGC Polarized Target GUI - under Beamline on CSS
    • Upload RasterMon plots to the logbook ( use "Log Entry" button on RasterMon screen at bottom-right corner)
    • CLAS12 Trigger rates and DAQ status
  • upload monitoring plots (mon12) to logook
    • look at the spectra: Reference, current, and 5 most recent runs, choose a reference run (the reference numbers refer to logbook entries):
    • In particular, take note of the new Raster Monitoring interface - see "Monitoring" Tab.

Note: Take screenshots of Beamline GUI, Trigger-rate and DAQ-status with beam. Please, submit to logbook only if you capture screens with beam ON

Every Shift (one time during your shift):

  • Fill the shift checklist
  • Log screen shots of RICH temperature and scaler maps. Log in RICH logbook.

Regularly:

  • reset & check spectra frequently (every 30 - 60 minutes)
    • Some plots in mon12 have a choice of histogram sets per sector, select buttons at the bottom of the plot. Only the currently selected set ends up in the logbook entry.
    • that means you have to look at all sectors for these histograms
