RC: Stepan Stepanyan (757) 575-7540 9 575 7540 from Counting Room PDL: Harut Avagyan Every Shift: Follow run plan as outlined by RC Ask MCC if orbit locks are on, they should be. Keep shift summery up-to-date in HBLOG Document any beam condition change and send scaler GUIs to HBLOG Send "scaler_hps" GUI to logbook at least twice per shift or any time run conditions change Peform 2H02A harp scan ones per shift or when beam conditions changed based on beam monitors (BPMs, halo rates, beam-viewer) Fill out shift checklist in the logbook, HBLOG, using template at least ones per shift or when run conditions change Continuously check quality of data With any issue contact On-Call Experts or RC. SVT Instructions Before sending beam to Faraday cup, verify (and page expert if otherwise): SVT should be open: "Position" at 0.000 mm in scaler GUI SVT HV is off: all red/green indicators RED in SVT bias GUI The first time sending beam to the Faraday cup after the hall is closed, page the SVT expert. Every Run: a b c d MCC Daily Meetings

Run Plan:March 14-15 (morning) Setup Beam to Hall-B Tagger Dump and Studies of Beam Properties. Ask MCC to turn ON tagger magnet Aid MCC to establish physics quality CW 1 pass beam to the Hall-B tagger dump: When reasonable beam spot is achieved on the tagger dump screen perform harp scans, 2C21 and tagger (2C24) harps. Note: harp scans must be performed with 10 nA beam current MCC delivers beam that is optimized for HPS, beam profile should be small at 2C21 (X/Y widths ~50 um) and should be large at tagger (2C24) harp (widths on 45/Y/X ~300 um), see previous harp scans Make sure 2C21 and 2C24 nA BPMs read stable X/Y positions. Postions on both BPMs must be close to zero as much as possible (at least |X/Y|<1). Make sure orbit locks are on and operational Continueosly check beam positions on 2C21 and 2C24 looking strip charts. Oscilations should not be more than +/-0.05mm Setup Beam to Hall-B Faraday cup Dump and Studies of Beam Properties. Ask MCC to turn OFF the beam, turn OFF and degous tagger magnet After tagger magnet is degaussed, change beam configuration on "bta" GUI to "Electron" Insert Chromax screen on the downstream viewer on the beam Start with tune mode beam, make sure beam is centered on the downstream viewer before going to CW Ask for ~10 nA beam, watch cctv6 to make sure spot on the downstream viewer is clear and approximatly at the center of the screen Check to make sure Faraday cup and nA BPMs read similar curents Check beam position stability on 2H01 nA BPM If everything looks normal, rates on downstream counters are <10Hz, and on HPS-L and HPS-R are <30Hz at 10nA, proceed Use 2H02A harp to study beam profile (beam current should not exceed 20 nA), beam size should be X ~250 um Y < 150 um using downstream viewer GUI insert YAG then OTR screen. If beam is not well visible on these viewers, use the expert GUI to find proper position for each to have clear picture of the beam spot Energize HPS chicane - ask MCC to turn beam OFF, ramp up magnets to desired currents according to procedures (use the table) After magnets are at required settings (will take ~40 min) ask MCC for 10 nA beam Observe beam spot on chromox viewer, beam spot should be at the same place as before magnets were turned ON. If spot is shifted, change Frascati magnets curent to correct the posiotion - if beam is left of the original point current must be lowered, if it is shifted right current must be increased. Do current change with small steps, ~Amp After chicane is set, record halo counter rates, turn beam off and insert HPS target, 4um W Using table provided change chicane settings to move beam left and right on the target with ~1mm step. First move righ, stop when rates on halo counters will increase by several times, then move left until rates will start to go up. Turn beam off rvery time currents are changed Beam Energy ~2.0 GeV Current < 200.0 nA CW Position X Y ~0 mm ~0 mm Profile X Y < 0.1 mm < 0.1 mm Target #1 0 mm Magnets PS Current 0 A Chicane Dipole #1 0 A Chicane Dipole #2 0 A DAQ Configuration ___________________ Configuration file Prescales Thresholds Events Per Run Dead Time
