Electron Detector

Standard Running Procedure

with the previous beam activity ongoing (parasitically)

• Turn ON High Voltages to the e-detector
  • take a quick run to check DAQ functionality
  • check analyzer functionality
• on any cdaq machine, type StripTool and pull up strip chart of the epics variables of the 4 Hall-C Chicane BPMs
  • 3P01A (IPM3P01A.XPOS , IPM3PO1A.YPOS)
  • 3P02A (IPM3P02A.XPOS , IPM3PO2A.YPOS)
  • 3P02B (IPM3P02B.XPOS , IPM3PO2B.YPOS)
  • 3P03A (IPM3P03A.XPOS , IPM3PO3A.YPOS)

Request beam to be set through the chicane and verify the same

• Check Chicane view: on any cdaq machine type edmmonticello, from the Monticello screen
  • open Magnets -> Magnet Commander
    • 3C -> Compton Combo
    • In this Hall C Compton Control screen, the REQUESTED and ACTUAL current readbacks should be ~104 A
  • open BPM -> BPM Overview
    • open Absolute -> on the Hall C column from the left bottom of this screen
    • BPM 3P01A, 3P02A, 3P02B and 3P03A should have finite non-zero read back
• Check compton rates from the photon detector (typically 600 per uA per second)

Request beam to be taken off, for lowering the e-detector

• Lower the e-detector to a position in accordance with current run plan
  • Motion mechanism [[1]]
    • begin with the program Go Home
    • jog to the intended position

Backout Procedure

1. Turn OFF HV
2. Retract the detector to position defined as Go Home
3. Retract further to position defined as Garage
4. make hclog entry to inform completion of the intended studies, with any quick conclusion which are obvious
