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:

MCC Daily Meetings

Run Plan:March 13-14 (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
Continue with tagger (2C24) harp scans at 10 nA to check beam position and width stability for ~ 1h - scans every 15 min with two settings of the harp
- "Speed during scan" = 0.5 and "Time between scaler reads" = 0.1
- "Speed during scan" = 0.1 and "Time between scaler reads" = 0.1

Beam width in any direction should not depend on the harp scan speed, any dependence will indicate beam position oscilation

If beam position (mean values of fitted peaks) are stable with <0.1 mm, proceed with the program, otherwise work with MCC to stabilize the beam
Study beam tails as a function of current - perform tagger harp scans with different harp setting at 10nA, 20nA, 50nA, 100nA:
- nominal setting - "Speed during scan" = 0.5 and "Time between scaler reads" = 0.07
- "Speed during scan" = 0.5 and "Time between scaler reads" = 0.35
- "Speed during scan" = 0.25 and "Time between scaler reads" = 0.7

Harp settings can be changed on the GUI by typing new values in the window

For harps analysis use upstream left
