RC: John Jaros (757) 575-7540 9 575 7540 from Counting Room PDL: Stepan Stepanyan Every Shift: Follow run plan as outlined by RC Once BPMs are calibrated, ask MCC if orbit locks are on, they should be. Keep shift summary up-to-date in HBLOG. Record all that happens. Update the run table on Google Docs. Document any beam condition change and send scaler GUIs to HBLOG Send "scaler_hps" GUI to logbook at least twice per shift or at any time run conditions change Peform 2H02A harp scan once per shift or when beam conditions have 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 SVT 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. Acceptable Beam Conditions: Before accepting beam, make sure all the conditions are met - beam profile and halo rates are what you expect (or very close to it). If unsure call to RC, PDL, or beamline expert! Beam optics setting is such that at 2H02A harp the beam profile will be as requested by HPS,wide in X-direction and narrow in Y. This optics setting will make the beam profile at 2C21 harp narrow in both directions, while profile on the "tagger" or 2C24 harp wide in both directions. The halo counter rates before HPS must be low: UPS-L and UPS-R few Hz/nA, if tagger magnet is energized TAG-L/T/T2 ~10Hz/nA [1], if beam is going to Faraday cup dump then tagger counters and downstream counters should count <<1 Hz/nA The halo counter rates on HPS, HPS-L/R/T/SC, depends on the collimator and HPS chicane settings, but should not be more than 100 Hz/nA[2] As halo counters, positions on BPMs and the settings of correctors also must be close to what where before. Always read previous log entries, compare settings of BPMs and correctors with previous settings using scaler_hps GUI. Every Run: a b c d MCC Daily Meetings

Run Plan: March 28-31, 2015 (day/swing/owl) CHL1, which supplies the South Linac, has serious mechanical difficulties with a compressor. CHL2 has supplied the North Linac but is off with contaminants in the heat exchanger which is being warmed up. No beams will be delivered over the weekend, on Monday, or probably early in the week. The situation will be assessed on Monday morning after which we should know more specifics. All HPS weekend shifts, Mar 28 day and swing, March 29 owl and day and swing, and March 30 owl are cancelled. In addition, Mar 30 day is also cancelled. While the prognosis is not good, it may be possible to run a low energy program that uses just one CHL. This could possibly provide HPS with beams of 1.1 and 2.2 GeV. High energy (10-11 GeV) running would not be possible in this scenario. We hope to learn more about the long term plans on Monday. When we're back: 1) MCC re-tunes upstream beam;(2) When beams are acceptable, MCC restores beams to alcove;(3) When decent beams have been reestablished, calibrate downstream bpms (4) post calibration, require good spot on Chromax, low counts on halo counters, and then set-up chicane. 5) scan target vertically and horizontally, measure halo rates vs target; (5) Take data. Subsystem commissioning studies: more trigger commissioning studies, beam trip studies once orbit locks are on. When we're back, proceed with program MCC works on beam optics and matching, and tunes beam to tagger After MCC finishes beam tune and upstream bpms are calibrated record harp scans at 2C21 and 2C24. These must be good scans, good S/N, no tails, and low halo count rates before proceeding. Standards are on this page: ACCEPTABLE BEAM CONDITIONS. make sure no bleedthrough-- counts when no beam? After beam tune is done send HPS scaler GUI to the logbook with comments Restore Beam to the Hall-B Dump Ask MCC to turn OFF the beam. Turn off tagger magnet and change beam configuration to "bta" GUI to "Electron" Have MCC degauss magnet Make sure target is out Insert Chromax screen on the downstream viewer 4mm SVT Protection collimator in place Restore 1 nA CW beam and have MCC bring beam to y~-5mm; x~5mm on the Chromax screen. (distance between dots=5mm). Record spot. Record scalers. Repeat and record 2C21 and 2C24 harp scans and corrector settings. We need these for next time! Record position at 2H02 harp. Repeat at 10 nA. Must have good spots, nominal sizes, no tail to proceed. Position ok? record scalers and beam location on screen. establish orbit locks Energize Chicane follow standard procedures in Beamline manuals for procedures and settings. beam spot on Chromax should be unmoved. If not, tune Frascati slightly. See caution below. Be very careful when changing magnet currents when beams are on. Must enter new current ACCURATELY. Small steps (few amps) only. Turn beam off and insert HPS target, 4um W. Restore beam. Check count rates. Do horizontal scan of beam on target. Using table provided, first change Frascati settings, then PS settings to move beam left and right on the target with ~1mm step. Small changes only. Return to nominal beam position. Do vertical scan of target at nominal beam position. Measure halo counter/ecal rates vs target position. Record data and graph. Are we centered? Beamline Expert should enter new target positions if not. Do scan of SVT collimator, measuring counter rates vs SVT collimator position with nominal beam position. If Omar and beamline expert are available during day or swing, do SVT Wire Scan. This still needs an expert. Orbit locks must be temporarily removed to move beam horizontally with upstream correctors, if needed. Restore orbit locks when done. Subsystem Commissioning Studies. Begin Data Taking. DO NOT RUN MORE THAN 30 MINUTES ABOVE 50 nA WITHOUT THE BEAM BLOCKER PUT BEAM BLOCKER IN FOR LONG RUNNING AT HIGH CURRENT Make sure DAQ is OK for data taking More Trigger commissioning data runs. See Valery's note on the run Wiki under commissioning trigger. If orbit locks are on, call Rafayel for beam trip study. Take 4 hours of beam trip data with wire up; take 4 hours of beam trip data with wire down. Absent other requests, take data at 50 nA. Be sure to block Faraday cup if higher current.
