• Note, all non-JLab numbers must be dialed with an area code. When calling from a counting-house landline, dial "9" first.
• To call JLab phones from outside the lab, all 4-digit numbers must be preceded by 757-269

CLAS12 Engineering Run, Winter 2018
Beam energy 10.6 GeV (5 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=0.0 mm)

Run Plan: (last update 1/28 - 6:00 pm) Continue data taking at 100% torus field (negatives inbending) and solenoid to 100% field. DAQ configuration PROD6 (selected by clicking on Configure before the Download), beam position as indicated above. Make sure FSD thresholds are set correctly (refer to the "Establish-physics quality beam" procedure at [1]), integration time is set to 5 ms, and that the orbit locks are on. Switch to HTCC studies. Ask the DAQ expert to load gains for the HTCC in fADC and take 4 runs with different trigger files, 30 min each: elec_pcal_300.cnf: HTCC threshold is 0.5 phe elec_htcc_1phe_pcal_300.cnf elec_htcc_3phe_pcal_300.cnf elec_htcc_5phe_pcal_300.cnf Revert to no gains after these runs are completed. Switch to FT studies: ask the DAQ expert to select an FT-only trigger, setting adequate prescale factors to keep the trigger rates at an acceptable level. Take three runs (15 min each) at different currents of 25, 50, 75 nA. DC threshold test: ask the DAQ expert to set the RD Region 2 thresholds to 60 mV and take one run (1 h) at 30 nA with elec_htcc_1phe_pcal_300.cnf trigger. Once completed, reverted to the nominal threshold of 45 mV. Continue regular data taking with PROD6/elec_htcc_1phe_pcal_300.cnf at 25 nA until 4 am. At the time, RICH studies will begin under the guidance of the RICH group. Use PROD6/elec_htcc_1phe_pcal_300.cnf at 50 nA. Continue until completed. Continue regular data taking with PROD6/elec_htcc_1phe_pcal_300.cnf at 25 nA until S. Boiarinov and B. Raydo will be available to start trigger studies. Starting from 4pm, beam availability may be reduced due to the Hall C pass change.

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
