Compton Procedures Sheet (short version for shift workers)

General Compton running:

  1. At least once every hour restart a new CODA run. CODA should be open on one of the desktops of ccomptl1.
  2. At least once every hour check the status of the HV. If a trip occurred, see below.
  3. Check whether the laser is still flipping (EPICS channel cComptCavityPower).
    This should be obvious from the camera as well. If not flipping, call an expert. This EPICS PV should be visible on the desktop of Striptools on ccomptl1.
  4. Monitor the background scintillator rates. cComptScintRateNorm should stay below 200 Hz/uA.


After a photon detector HV trip:

  1. Check that the normalized rate on the background scintillator (EPICS channel cComptScintRateNorm, or manually normalize hcrate14) is still below 150 Hz/uA (200 Hz/uA is tolerable, <150 Hz/uA is "good").
    This EPICS PV should be visible on the desktop of Striptools on ccomptl1. If not, call an expert.
  2. Wait 5 minutes after the trip and turn on the HV on the photon detector to 1600 V (channel PhotonDet_6).
    The HV controls should be open on one of the ccomptl1 desktops. If not log on to cdaql4 as cvxwrks and cd to $EPSHV/tk then run /HV_compton.tcl and turn on PhotonDet_6.
  3. If the photon detector HV trips again within 15 minutes, call an expert.
