Daily RC/OA Meetings at 13:00 in CH Room 200C, and on ZOOM: URL Link (Meeting ID: 1611984219; Passcode: RGD-RC23), except on Wednesdays, which is on ZOOM ONLY @ 15:30 due to the conflict with the 13:30 MCC Scheduling/Planning meeting.

Important Notes

Do NOT change FSD settings without approval from RC or beamline expert!

• In case of medical or fire emergency, call 9-911 from a LANDLINE phone in the Counting House and inform the Crew Chief.
• 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 to arrange replacements.
• Remote shift: If needed, worker shifts can be taken from off-site. 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!

• Note to shift takers, please:

◊ Read the logbook, be aware of previous 24 hours

◊ Arrive at least 10 minutes early for shift change

◊ Refresh the run wiki pages; look over them every shift

- Follow the expert/worker shift instructions.

◊ For advice, do not hesitate to call the RC first and foremost, day or night.

Current Issues

• Do not spend more than 15-20 min trying to fix a problem. With any issue, contact On-Call Experts or RC.

• New RICH recovery protocol: see tab expert "Shift Expert" for new information. Avoid unnecessary recoveries.

• BMT/FMT/SVT: If new hot channels appear, call the MVT/SVT/MM expert Yuri Gotra (757-541-7539). These channels need to be addressed by the expert.

• Tagger magnet procedure: If the tagger magnet needs to be turned off, tell the operator to use only the script for degaussing, NEVER do "by hand"!

• Change of target in the hall: In case of questions from MCC about the necessary controlled access, refer to the logbook entry #: 4196113 for the access requirements.

Run Plan for Thurs., Oct. 26th - Tue., Oct. 31st, 2023 Continue production on CuSn - Target: CuSn - Beam Blocker: IN - Beam current: 90 nA +/- 3nA on 2C21A - Run duration: 100 M events - DAQ configuration: PROD67 - Trigger file: rgd_out_v2.1_Q2_1.2.trg P.S.: If the beam is widely fluctuating above 90 nA, please ask MCC to narrow down the fluctuation margin and give us the required 90 nA +/- 3nA based on 2C21A reading. They could put the beam current lock on 2C21A in case that may help with the wide fluctuation as it's currently done. We will keep the beam blocker IN while using this target combination! Tuesday, Oct. 31st, Day Shift: • Switch back to LD2 around 8:30 AM. DAQ operation STANDARD end run and start new run: - "End run" - "Prestart", "Go" If changing configuration or trigger file, if the run did not end correctly, if ROC(s) were rebooted, after any RICH recovery, RESTART DAQ: - "Cancel", "Reset", "Configure", "Download" - "Prestart", "Go" Reference Values FSD Thresholds from RG-D Upstream: 2 kHz Midstream: 2 kHz Downstream: 100 kHz BOM: 50 kHz 5 ms dwell time Harp Scan References from RG-D 2H01 [1]; x= -1.4 mm; y= 0.0 mm Tagger (2C24A) [2]: x= -2.0 mm; y= +0.6 mm 2C21A [3]: x= -0.4 mm; y= +0.6 mm (less important; values form RG-C) IA for Q Asymmetry HWP IN: https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4194811 and https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4195453 HWP OUT: https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4195738 and https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4195733

General Instructions Data Acquisition: Configuration is PROD66 (or PROD66_PIN for fast reconstruction of some calibration/reference runs from the cache disk); In case of DAQ Disk space alarm, call the DAQ expert. Trigger files : Inbending production: rgd_inb_v1.0.trg Outbending production: rgd_out_v1.1.trg, or rgd_out_v2.1_Q2_1.2.trg with low-Q2 suppression If a ROC has crashed, find which one it is, end the current run, issue a roc_reboot command ON JUST THAT ROC, and RESTART DAQ. Unless a RICH problem crashes the DAQ, do NOT interrupt an otherwise smooth run for a RICH recovery. Instead, do this in between runs. The shift MUST check and reset monitoring histograms at least once every 30-60 minutes to make sure there are no major detector problems. Sometimes, it is the only way to know that a specific roc needs to be rebooted. Pop-up window: Enter the beam current and the type of runs (e.g., Production) in the "Comment" field. After each step of a DAQ RESTART, make sure it is completed in the Run Control message window. Contact the DAQ expert if there are any questions. 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 (especially, ECAL sec 2 and 3). If these lights are switched on during an access, they should be switched off when leaving the Hall. Refer to these photos: ON: [4], OFF: [5] We have a new dome light switch outside of the hall in the labyrinth. The lights can be turned off without entering the hall. See https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4204460 Note that the dome lights when switched off cannot be turned back on immediately because they require 10-15 min to cool down. Beamline: Do not run more than 30 minutes above 90 nA with a 5-pass beam without the beam blocker IN . The beam blocker must be IN for long running at high currents for 5-pass operations. If there is any concern about beam stability, ask MCC if orbit locks are on (they should be). Document any beam condition change and send scaler GUIs to HBLOG. If HWP is changed, start a new run. At the start and end of every run, check that the data filled in the Run Condition Data Base (RCDB) is correct, especially the fields of that are filled manually. For beam tuning and Møller runs Make sure the SVT/MVT are set as follows: SVT: LV ON; HV OFF, and MVT: LV ON; HV ON in SAFE Mode. When turning MVT OFF, do not press "BMT HV OFF" from HV->Overview->Actions, but instead select BMT HV ON - Safe Voltage. The same thing applies to FMT select FMT HV ON - Safe Voltage. When turning MVT ON: go to HV->Overview->Actions, and select BMT (/FMT) "HV ON - Full Voltage". DO NOT start runs in SAFE Mode for Production/Calibration/Various-Studies. Turn DC HV off only for beam tuning; if no beam is available or when the beam is stable, keep them on even if you are not taking data. To access the Hall: If you need to enter Hall B, alert Denny Insley (757-897-9060, cell/text: 757-810-9576) and the Run Coordinator (757-575-7540). Check in with the shift personnel before entering the hall.
