Current Status
- Production on KinC_x60_2 and _2'.
- 21.81 ABU in last 24 hours (Day+Swing+Owl)
- Saturday 09 Dec: 07:00-09:00 Separator repair work. Beam restored to HallC ~ 09:30
- Sunday 10 Dec: HMS Q3 & Dipole tripped at 11:19 (run 3510) Restored directed to set points (Run 3511, 3512) Ramped to MOL and back to set point at 14:00
Current Run Plan
- Continue run plan: https://hallcweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/Short_Term_Run-Plan
- cycle KinC_x60_2 then KinC_x60_2'
- Only need four 1-hour production runs on LD2 for each cycle of each setting.
- Suggestions for rest of week
- Eliminate coin_sparse ps3=0 runs (we have enough data on electron efficiency)
- Keep coin_sparse ps4=0 runs (DIS cross section)
- Eliminate coin_sparse_low runs (we have enough data to study)
- Reduce max current on LD2 at KinC_x60_2' (NPS 12.4 deg) to 15 uAmp
- NPS_Trig1 = 3MHz, hTRIG1 = 2.6 MHz at 20 uAmp

Notices in Effect for Shift Crew
- All shifts should come in as planned.
- Heidi on vacation 7-13 Dec. Contact Steve L for cryo during that time.
- cc Heidi & Steve Lassiter on any cryo logbook entry (fansler@jlab.org, lassiter@jlab.org)
- Physically verify green led of gas flow and BCM temps in electronics room
- Record HMS (electron) tracking efficiency from each 50K replay report
Current Issues
- On call list seems incomplete and should be addressed by the Hall: https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4230495
- We need other indications of this interlock. In Hall A, we have it shut off detector HV via the alarm handler, and we have a flow rate alarm. Seems the useful PV values have not been working since 1-Sept.
- Need alarm on NPS Sweep (or improved visual display of status).
- NPS PMT/Base failures are propagating into columns 12, 13
- Reduce LD2 current at KinC_x60_2' to 15 uA
Planned Access to the Hall
Planned Accelerator Configuration Changes
- We will run until 07:00 Dec 15.
- Target will be warmed up and parked.
- Hall will remain in Controlled Access until 07:00 Dec 19
- Beam studies (Day Shift) Dec 19 will send beam into hall
- Hall will return to Controlled Access at 16:00 on Dec 19
Special Requests
- BCM Calibration today
- Moller Dec 13
- Ohio University has delivered 88 new bases, ready for installation (with LV regulators)
- Shutdown repair options
- Replace columns 0-15 with jumpered bases
- Fastest option, but leaves columns 16++ vulnerable to base failure
- Replace columns 0-15 with jumpered bases, replace columns 16,17 with new bases with new regulators (from Ohio)
- A little more shutdown time in Jan. Keeps consistent 3.5V on columns 16-19
- Remove columns 0-19, start restoration at column 19
- Best option for radiation damage.
- Either extend shutdown beyond Jan 20 to restore all columns
- Or: only restore colulmns 4-19
- Replace columns 0-15 with jumpered bases
- What is our NPS Shutdown Checklist for Dec 22-Jan 2 SAD?
- Turn off HMS magnets (Dec 15)
- Turn off HMS detector HV (Dec 15)
- Dec 22
- Turn off NPS HV
- Turn off NPS LV
- Turn off NPS Chiller
- Calorimeter energy resolution studies
- Analyze pi0 mass resolution as a function of pi0 energy
- Analyze pi0 mass resolution separately for high current and low current runs
