BPM calibration information

From HallCWiki

  • The beam position monitors (BPMs) on the diagnostic girder in Hall C (IPM3H07A, IPM3H07B, and IPM3H07C) are calibrated by comparison with the Hall C superharps (IHA3H07A and IHA3H07B). Ideally, a "bulls-eye" scan is done which allows one to determine the BPM offsets and slopes. However, a single harp scan is sufficient to check the BPM offsets.
  • If re-analyzing/revisiting BPM calibrations, make sure that the appropriate survey offsets are loaded into the harp analyzer tool
  • Table of BPM calibration information. Offsets and slopes are from the "RAW" epics variables (no survey offsets applied).
