Moller Polarimeter/A1n/d2n

Moller measurement summaries for A1n/d2n

This is the "Cliff notes section on Moller polarimetry runs during the Polarized Helium-3 Running.

Note on sign of polarization [1]

December 12, 2019

Five pass commissioning. Used preliminary <azz>. Randoms were higher than expected. Need more shielding?. result: [2]

December 19, 2019

Determined the optimum quad settings, set the detector HV and performed the collimator scan pretty quickly. Before the collimator scan the measured polarization was 80%, after the scan it was 84.5% Unpolarized background? Summary:[3], Result: [4] Epics:[5]

January 18, 2020

Before this measurement, timed in randoms so that right arm comes exactly 16 ns after left. [6]. During measurement, replaced 8 ns with 6 ns delay on left arm. Reduced left/right HV by 25 V (1245/1225). Ran with collimator 5 in - this reduced backgrounds a little. Q2/Q3 current changed to 1284.604 A. Bleedthrough check, ~ 10 nA. [7] Settings: [8], BPMs: [9] summary: [10], result: [11]

January 27, 2020

Moller tune check and collimator settings[12].The beam current was 1 uA and IHWP IN. During the first three runs (1385-1387), Hall A was changing their slit and attenuator. During the last 3 runs(1388-1390),had the same slit settings. BPMs:[13], summary [14], result: [15]

February 3, 2020

Spin Dance, summary: [16], result: [17]

February 12, 2020

Some troubles delivering beam. Tried to take the other IHWP state but ended up backing out. summary: [18], result: [19]

February 19, 2020

Energy change in injector starting Feb 18th: [20] Measurements corrected for Hall A bleedthru (57 Hz) summary: [21], result: [22]

February 27, 2020

Changed HVs: [23] Noisy BPMS/readbacks: [24] , Large coin rates with no target, no beam, no collimators. Bleedthru/Scraping notes: [25] summary: [26], result: [27]

March 6th, 2020

Collimator 6 and 7 were scanned. Found 6 was impinging on coin rate. In and Out measured. Hall A Bleedthru (33Hz/4700Hz) summary: [28], results:[29]

March 12th, 2020 Checked collimator 6 (2.95 vs 2.65). summary: [30], result: [31]

August 3rd, 2020 Gain matched L/R. High rates with no target and no collimators to start but operator tuned beam and the rates came down. summary: [32], result: [33]

August 12th, 2020 Day shift operator had a lot of trouble tuning. Then no beam for several hours (storms/RF), came back at 7pm. summary: [34], result: [35]

August 25th, 2020

September 3rd, 2020 Measurement completed in 1/2 shift. :) Bleedthru@ 0.78% Summary:[36], result: [37]
