HPS 2016 Trigger Commissioning

Phase 0: Diagnostics

1. Aprime Runs with Singles&Pairs
   • trigger file: HPS/Run2016/v0.trg
   • 30 minutes at any current

Phase 1: Tuning

1. ECal Pedestal Runs
   • About 10 minutes at each beam current:
     • 25 nA (or lower)
     • 100 nA
     • 200 nA
2. 20 kHz Pulser Runs
   • trigger file: HPS/Run2016/20kHz.trg
   • At least 100 Million events (~1 hour) at each beam current:
     • 25 nA (or lower)
     • 100 nA
     • 200 nA

Ideally the pedestal runs should be done first so that they can be used
to update the pedestals used for the 20 kHz Pulser runs. This requires
an ECal expert available, and to then update the trigger files for the
subsequent Pulser runs. If this is not the case, the Pulser runs can be
done first with the preconfigured pedestals.
