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.

MCC Daily Meetings

Run Plan:March 14-15 (morning)

Setup Beam to Hall-B Tagger Dump and Studies of Beam position stability.

After MCC finishes beam tune for Hall-A
- make sure beam conditions did not changed, beam position and halo counter rates are as before
- perform harp scans to verify that beam profile did not changed (2C21 and tagger/2C24 harps)
When Rafayel is on shift, after 4pm, perform beam vertical motion during beam trips and recovery -
- turn off the beam
- move tagger harp (2C24) motor to ~101 in absolute position using the expert GUI
- ask MCC to deliver 100 nA beam, make sure rates on Struck from upstream halo counters are on order of few MHz (if needed make slight movements with motor to get desire rates). Rates can be seen not only on Struck scaler but also on Jorger scaler using fwd_scaler.ald)
- tell MCC that you will study beam motion during trip and recovery, so they should not bring beam back after the trip without your call
- start "waveform" program, and ask MCC to deliver beam, 100 nA. When beam trips stop the run
- after couple of minutes call MCC to see if they are ready to send the beam again, if so start the program again and ask for beam
- repeat this for at least 10 trips and recovery
- document each run in the logbook, start and end time and any details if necessary. Send HPS scaler GUI to logbook for every run

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
