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 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 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. 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

DO NOT RUN MORE THAN 30 MINUTES ABOVE 50 nA WITHOUT THE BEAM BLOCKER PUT BEAM BLOCKER IN FOR LONG RUNNING AT HIGH CURRENT Run Plan:March 23-24, 2015 (day/swing/owl) Overview: Very bad beams last night. We need better standards for what is acceptable at 2C21 and 2C24, and upstream halo counters before sending beam downstream to the dump. Please read ACCEPTABLE BEAM CONDITIONS on this page. We returned to tagger and MCC will work on calibrating upstream BPMs. Tief will work on optics matching starting 1PM today. We will not open on Tuesday (TUESDAY DAY SHIFT IS ON). We may on Wednesday, TBD. Program: 1) MCC retunes upstream beam and calibrates BPMs; (2) MCC works on beamline optics, hopefully restoring beams to alcove when complete;(3) when have decent beams to alcove, try to have MCC calibrate downstream BPMs;(4)get good spot on Chromax, low counts on halo counters, and then set-up chicane. 5) scan target vertically and horizontally, halo rates vs target (5) Take data. Subsystem commissioning studies: more trigger commissioning studies, SVT commissioning. MCC calibrates upstream bpms 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 explanation Restore Beam to the Hall-B Faraday cup Dump and Setup HPS. Ask MCC to turn OFF the beam. Turn off tagger magnet and change beam configuration to "bta" GUI to "Elecrron" Have MCC degauss magnet Make sure target is out Insert Chromax screen on the downstream viewer on the beam. 4mm SVT Protection collimator in place Restore 1 nA CW beam and have MCC bring beam to y~-5mm; x~5mm. Record spot. Record scalers. Halo counters and Ecal must have low rates to proceed. 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. Energize Chicane follow standard procedures 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 only. Turn beam off and insert HPS target, 4um W 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 positon. Do vertical scan of target at fixed beam position. Measure halo counter/ecal rates vs target position. Record data and graph Do scan of SVT collimator, measuring counter rates vs SVT collimator position with nominal beam position. If Omar is available during day or swing, do SVT Wire Scan. This still needs an expert. Subsystem Commissioning Studies. Begin Data Taking. Make sure DAQ is OK for data taking More Trigger commissioning data runs. See Valery's note on the run Wiki under commissioning trigger. When SVT is ready for data, begin integrated data taking. Call Omar. Absent other requests, take data at 50 nA. Be sure to block Faraday cup if higher current. Turn beams over to MCC during day shift March 23 for bpm calibration Leave chicane on Request very low currents 1nA preferably Request that beam be on axis for higher current runs. We don't want the beam hitting the SVT Collimator needlessly.
