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]
Hall A spin dance Jan. 07 th, 2020 [2]
December 12, 2019
Five pass commissioning. Used preliminary <azz>. Randoms were higher than expected. Need more shielding?. result: [3]
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:[4], Result: [5] Epics:[6]

Before this measurement, timed in randoms so that right arm comes exactly 16 ns after left. [7]. 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. [8] Settings: [9], BPMs: [10] summary: [11], result: [12]
January 27, 2020
Moller tune check and collimator settings[13].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:[14], summary [15], result: [16]

Spin Dance, summary: [17], result: [18]
February 12, 2020
Some troubles delivering beam. Tried to take the other IHWP state but ended up backing out. summary: [19], result: [20]
FLIP RIGHT (88.0) to FLIP LEFT (-90.6) February 17, 2020 ~10am
February 19, 2020
Energy change in injector starting Feb 18th: [21] Measurements corrected for Hall A bleedthru (57 Hz) summary: [22], result: [23]
February 27, 2020
Changed HVs: [24] Noisy BPMS/readbacks: [25] , Large coin rates with no target, no beam, no collimators. Bleedthru/Scraping notes: [26] summary: [27], result: [28]
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: [29], results:[30]
March 12th, 2020 Checked collimator 6 (2.95 vs 2.65). summary: [31], result: [32]
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: [33], result: [34]
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: [35], result: [36]
August 25th, 2020
September 3rd, 2020 Measurement completed in 1/2 shift. :) Bleedthru@ 0.78% Summary:[37], result: [38]
