RC Meeting Information
RC Daily Meetings are at 4:15 PM, 2nd floor Counting House Meeting Room Bluejeans Connection
Wednesday 26th Feb. 2020.
General updates
- Beam back around 7pm (4 hour MCC 'maintenance down' on Tuesday => ~11 hours)
- Ran production (longitudinal) overnight, a beam a bit trippy
- MCC/OPS safety stand down 9--12pm; beam back around 12:45pm, more or less on schedule!
- JP did Target transverse polarization tests this morning during the Safety stand down. See log entry https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3792457
- Moller cooldown completed
- Moller measurement Thursday day
Notes for the Future
- Injector spot move tentatively planned for early next week (Mon/Tues)?
- 2--3 hour down
- Photocathode reactivation likely deferred until week of March 16(?)
- Will depend on measured QE lifetime after spot move
- 1 hour run with target out for measure of the background just from the beryllium windows (Filler for next spin-up)
- Target coil rotation planned for March 13--20
- Nominal 1-week downtime in Hall C to rotate target coils, install new cell, and transition to d2n program
- Lots of preplanning to be completed (RadCon, Techs, S&A, Target group, etc)
- RW-II training for JP, Arun, Brad (Complete the training documentation and take the RW-II test if you haven't already done so)
Pending problems
- Ongoing target correction coil readback/software issue (LabView) https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3792556
- Persistent BLM & ion chamber trips
- General activation, weird BLM issues (https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3792326), Ad-hoc ion chamber threshold adjustments (https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3792095)
- NOTE: Shift crew should NOT give authorization to MCC change ion chamber thresholds. If they ask, tell Operator to contact an appropriate expert. Make a log entry if trips persist, or call the RC if it becomes severe (for example, >20 trips/hour is getting intolerable)
Fixed problems
Opportunistic Access Jobs
- Target group would like to check NMR connections and hardware settings in the Hall (JP, Junhao)
Target Polarization Angle Conventions
Be VERY clear here about the convention (beam-right/left/up/downstream) vs 0, 90, 180, 270) for each run period. More notes and references to log entries are better.

Current Run Plan
- Taking production data (HMS/SHMS -3.5/-3.4 GeV) with 3He target, longitudinal polarization until further notice. NMR every 5 hrs.
- Moller measurement Thursday.
Standing Orders
- NOTE: Shift crew should NOT give authorization to MCC change ion chamber thresholds. If they ask, tell the Operator to contact an appropriate expert. Make a log entry if trips persist, or call the RC if it becomes severe (for example, >20 trips/hour is getting intolerable)
- If beam goes away for more than 2h, or if during the downtime, MCC does operations that may change then beam tuning (except work on transport magnets), then do beam recovery procedure (do YAG viewer part only if you are suspicious of the harp scan results)
- Check the position locks are on.
- Check that CODA is running normally (had one strange hangup lately)
- Check online replays shortly after starting runs, & full replay results too.
- Make sure all the beam specs are followed (e.g. no raster size below 4mm on 3He cell).
- Always take 120Hz of EDTM
- Fill BTA with realistic numbers. You may follow the guidance coming from "load from EPICS", if it does not overestimate the ABU (as it generally does). https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3783171. If we have to lower the beam current we actually want because the beam is too unstable, prorate the ABUs.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! !! !! ATTN: SHIFT LEADERS !! !! Please follow the shift summary template on !! !! the laminated SL instructions. !! !! !! !! ATTN: TARGET OPERATORS !! !! All NMR measurement HCLOG entries should include: !! !! 1) A title that clearly lists polarization !! !! 2) Screenshots of both NMR_FieldSweep and !! !! the polarization fit !! !! !! !! For an example see the following entry: !! !! https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3768696 !! !! !! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Notices in Effect for Shift Crew
- Policy for CANS-related hall status change: Make a logbook entry when the hall goes in, or comes out of laser-controlled access.
- Magnet policies
- Spectrometer GUI (
go_magnets
) should always be visible on Shift Leader computer, hcdesk3 - HMS Q1 must be ramped down in 50A steps in all cases
- Do not ramp HMS Q2 to zero, only go to 10A and then switch off power.
- If SHMS dipole trips again, take a screenshot of the PSU window before resetting the interlock and post it to hclog.
- Spectrometer GUI (
- Inform the RC of any access that the Target Team requires. The RC will coordinate with RadCon to make everything run smoothly.
- The operators have been somewhat careful with our beam orbit locks. Please make sure that the orbit locks are enabled and the beam does not drift from its nominal position.
- Ramp rate lock instructions are here and added to checklist[2]
- Temporary Laser instructions can be found here [3]
- Do not change SHMS momentum until we fixed the current lead valve
