CLAS12 Run Group A, Winter 2018
Beam energy 6.4 GeV (3 pass)
Important: Document all your work in the logbook!
Remember to fill in the run list at the beginning and end of each run (clas12run@gmail.com can fill the run list)

• Note 1: Be very mindful of the background rates in the halo counters, rates in the detectors, and currents in the SVT for all settings to ensure that they are at safe levels.

• Note 2: At the end of each run, follow the DAQ restart sequence "end run", "abort", "reset", "download", "prestart", "go". After DAQ prestart is complete reboot the scaler IOCs with the command: iocjscalerRestartAll.sh. Note: After each step, make sure it is complete in the Run Control message window. If a roc has crashed, find which one it is and issue a roc_reboot command and try again. Contact the DAQ expert if there are any questions.

• Note 3: Nominal beam positions: 2C21 (X=0.0 mm, Y=0.0 mm), 2C24 (X=0.0 mm, Y=0.7 mm), 2H01 (X=0.3 mm, Y=-0.6 mm)

• Note 4: With beam to the Faraday Cup, typical rates on all halo counters upstream from the target should be either 0 or of the order of few counts. Count rates in the range of tens or more may indicate bad beam tune or bleed-through from other Halls.

Run Plan: (last update 2/7 - 09:00) The beam position should be as indicated above. Make sure FSD thresholds are set correctly for whatever current is selected (refer to instructions in the "Establish-physics quality beam" procedure at [1]), integration time is set to 5 ms, and that the orbit locks are on. <--* Change the TORUS poalrity to -2827 A (By trained personnel) At the same time Check the beam tune: Turn off the detectors: SVT (contact expert to do it), MVT (see instructions), CND, CTOF, FTT, HTCC, DC, FTOF Follow the instructions in the "Establish-physics quality beam" procedure at [2]. Compare harp scan to the standards at 2C21 and 2C24. Consult with the beamline expert in case of issues. If beam profiles at the tagger are acceptable, move to beam tuning to the Faraday Cup with a 5 nA beam. Again, refer to the instructions in the "Establish-physics quality beam" procedure at [3]. Compare harp scan with the standard at 2H01. If beam quality is not good call beamline expert Once beam to Faraday Cup is established, prepare to start data taking. Switch on all detectors, except the MM and the RICH with 5 nA beam; contact expert to switch on SVT. Call MCC for beam at 5nA check that the beam position and rates are Ok before moving to 20 nA Once the beam quality is establiched call Sergey and valery to start the runs for trigger studies (Random & HTCC efficiency studies and FT) this will take about 5 to 6 hours 11:30 Maxime started the gas for the MVT then he will turn the HV on Once the trigger studies completed contact RICH detctor expert to change RICH detecor configuration Then ask MCC for 15 nA and start production runs Take data at 15 nA with PROD/elec_6gev_htcc_1phe_pcal_150.trg for 2 hours Continue data taking at 15nA starting a new run every 2 hours until 6:30 am At 6:30, first turn off HV for MVT, once the HV channels are OFF (~30 sec for the ramp down), turn off MVT gas OFF. At 7:00 am MVT expert will come to take a run without gas flow, it will be dedicated run of 15-20 mn-->

General Instructions: For a given beam current, compute the FSD thresholds according to the Establish Physics Quality Beam document. Call MCC to update the values. Contact the beamline expert if there are questions about setting the FSD thresholds. The main lights in the Hall (dome lights) and the Forward Carriage lights are being kept off because of light leaks affecting some of the detectors. If these lights are switched on during an access, they should be switched off when leaving the Hall. Note that the dome lights when switched off cannot be turned back on immediately because they require 10-15 min to cooldown. Do not run more than 60 minutes above 30 nA with 5-pass beam without the beam blocker in front of Faraday cup. Put beam blocker in for long running at high currents for 5 pass operations. Turn DC HV off only for beam tuning; if no beam is available or when beam is stable, keep them on even if you are not taking data. In case of loss of communication with IOCBTARG, follow instructions at https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3502218 With any issue contact On-Call Experts or RC - do not spend more than 15-20 min trying to fix the problem. All jscaler iocs (iocjscalerX) on the health screen (under DAQ tab) must be restarted after every DAQ prestart is completed. Check that no unecessary beamline-related screens are open. This includes particularly the big beamline overview screen, but also and any motor/harp/collimator screens, and ioc health screens. Every Shift: Follow run plan as outlined by RC If any concern about beam stability, ask MCC if orbit locks are on (they should be). Keep shift summary up to date in HBLOG. Record all that happens. Check on white board all scalers, strip charts and monitoring plots that need to be logged regularly Document any beam condition change and send scaler GUIs to HBLOG Fill out BTA hourly. Click "Load from EPICS" to automatically fill the left side. Fill and submit the shift checklist in the logbook Perform 2H01A harp scan once per shift or when beam conditions have changed, based on beam monitors (BPMs, halo rates, beam-viewer). During harp scans the HV for DC and HTCC should be OFF. Every Run: Log screenshots of: main scaler GUI display Detector occupancy plots Trigger rate gui Beam strip charts
