* Note 2: At the end of each run, follow the DAQ restart sequence "end run", "abort", "reset", "download", "prestart", "go". The DAQ rate should be 5 - 6 kHz (this includes a 1 kHz pulser). 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.

* Once beam is back, establish 5 nA beam current on target. Solenoid is at 60% and torus at 0. Make sure beam positions are consistent with last used values. Check the detector, halo counter and BOM rates on full target. Use FTCAL scalers to check the beam centering. Make logbook entries with snapshots of the overview epics gui and other relevant graph.
+
All studies will take data at 100% torus field (negatives inbending) and 100% solenoid field (positive polarity on supply). 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 [https://wiki.jlab.org/clas12-run/images/e/e3/Estab_beam.pdf]), integration time is set to 5 ms, and that the orbit locks are on.  
−
* Go to empty target: check rates again at the same beam current and compare to full target.
 
−
* Start DAQ with PROD configuration and trigger_electron_2GEV.trg trigger file: monitor trigger scalers and monitoring histograms (mon12) to ensure all trigger bits are properly recorded and all detectors are properly readout (compare to previous monitoring plots)
 
−
* Increase the beam current to 10-20 nA checking trigger rates, dead time and DC occupancy. Choose the final beam current to have 5-6 kHz trigger rate and 85% live time. Take data for one hour.
 
−
* End data taking and ramp the torus to -60% field, -2262 A (call E. Pasuyk and/or RC to do it).
 
−
* While ramping the magnet, fill the target:
 
−
** alert R. Miller (phone on the whiteboard) 20 min before starting: ;he will be monitoring the process;
 
−
** follow the procedure in the "Target shift worker manual"
 
−
* Once the torus is at field, start reversing the solenoid polarity:
 
−
** beam should be off and solenoid masked in the FSD (ask MCC to do it after requesting beam off);
 
−
** ramp the solenoid to 0 and wait 5 min;
 
−
** ramp the solenoid to -60% (1450 A)
 
−
* Start data taking with 3 nA beam current, PROD configuration and trigger_electron_2GEV.trg trigger file: monitor trigger scalers and monitoring histograms (mon12) to ensure all trigger bits are properly recorded and all detectors are properly readout (compare to previous monitoring plots).
 
−
* Take 2 hours runs. Monitor routinely trigger scalers, live time, monitoring histograms, CED, detector scalers.
 
  
−
* Zero field alignment runs:
+
<!-- * Prepare for beam tuning to the tagger yoke: SVT (contact expert to do it), MVT, CND, CTOF, FTT, HTCC, DC, FTOF should be off, tagger magnet should be on. Follow the instructions in the "Establish-physics quality beam" procedure at [https://wiki.jlab.org/clas12-run/images/e/e3/Estab_beam.pdf]. Compare harp scan to the ones performed on 1/25 swing shift (https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3520873 and https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3520881). Consult with the beamline expert in case of issues. -->
−
** Starting at 8:00 am, ramp the torus to 0 field (call E. Pasuyk and/or RC to do it)
+
<!--* If beam profiles at the tagger are acceptable, move to beam tuning to the Faraday Cup. Again, refer to the instructions in the "Establish-physics quality beam" procedure at [https://wiki.jlab.org/clas12-run/images/e/e3/Estab_beam.pdf]. Compare harp scan with the one from 1/25 swing shift (https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3520947). -->
−
** Empty the target
+
<!--* Once beam to Faraday Cup is established, prepare to start data taking. Switch on all detectors; contact expert to switch on SVT. Start trigger studies following instructions from the DAQ expert. -->
−
** Establish a beam current of 0.1 nA and start the DAQ with electron trigger
+
* Take 2 hour data runs with PROD/elec_htcc_1phe_pcal_300.trg at 30 nA with the following DC HV and thresholds:
−
** Start lowering the solenoid in steps of 10% while monitoring detectors rates (call detector experts and SVT and MVT in particular ahead of time to have them watching their system) and DC occupancies. At 40% solenoid, ask MCC to mask the solenoid relay from the FSD. Continue ramping down the solenoid until rates are sustainable.
+
** R1: #9/-45 mV, R2: #10/-65 mV, R3: #10/-60 mV
−
** Take data at the lowest field sustainable by DC and CVT.  If DC cannot sustain the rate, turn off DC HV. Run duration will depend on the number of reconstructed tracks and will be decided based on the results from cooking the first files.
+
** R1: #8/-30 mV, R2: #10/-65 mV, R3: #9/-45 mV
 +
** R1: #8/-30 mV, R2: #9/-45 mV, R3: #9/-45 mV
 +
* Take data at 35 nA with PROD/elec_htcc_1phe_pcal_300.trg until morning; runs should be 2 hrs in length. Use R1: #8/-30 mV, R2: #9/-45 mV, R3: #9/-45 mV

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)

RC: Silvia Niccolai

  • (757) 575-7540
  • 9 575 7540 from Counting Room

  • 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 pn 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 2/4 - 14:30)

All studies will take data at 100% torus field (negatives inbending) and 100% solenoid field (positive polarity on supply). 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.

  • Take 2 hour data runs with PROD/elec_htcc_1phe_pcal_300.trg at 30 nA with the following DC HV and thresholds:
    • R1: #9/-45 mV, R2: #10/-65 mV, R3: #10/-60 mV
    • R1: #8/-30 mV, R2: #10/-65 mV, R3: #9/-45 mV
    • R1: #8/-30 mV, R2: #9/-45 mV, R3: #9/-45 mV
  • Take data at 35 nA with PROD/elec_htcc_1phe_pcal_300.trg until morning; runs should be 2 hrs in length. Use R1: #8/-30 mV, R2: #9/-45 mV, R3: #9/-45 mV
  • Hall B work for Monday:
    • Ramp down solenoid (torus can stay up) (RC)
    • Empty the hydrogen target (Hall B Engineering)
    • Complete shielding addition outside scattering chamber (Hall B Engineering)
    • Restore beamline (Hall B Engineering)
    • Replace FT-Hode mezzanine board (N. Zachar)
    • Work on DC cable swaps (M. Cook + M. Mestayer)
    • Work on vacuum gauge (D. Anderson)
    • Investigate polarity of busy signal (S. Boyarinov)
    • Setup gated/ungated scalers and clock scalers (S. Boyarinov)
    • SAF111 walkthrough (E. Pasyuk)
    • Pass change (5-pass to 3-pass)

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:

  1. Follow run plan as outlined by RC
  2. If any concern about beam stability, ask MCC if orbit locks are on (they should be).
  3. 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
  4. 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:

  1. Log screenshots of:
    • main scaler GUI display
    • Detector occupancy plots
    • Trigger rate gui
    • Beam strip charts
