Useful Links

Target Readiness

  • Raytum people finished laser fiber repairs. (EPR fiber bundle?)


Remaining work:

  • 1 BNC cables need to be made and attached to these coils.


Current Run Plan

  • Currently measuring laser polarization with new polarimeter
  • Friday (?): Optimistically, Close up the enclosure. Start taking 1-pass data for two days with the same settings as in December.

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
    • 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.
  • 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[1]
  • Temporary Laser instructions can be found here [2]

Current Issues

  • Polarimetry debugging in progress
  • (ARUN) Transverse didn't indicate a higher polarization. Need to understand why?

Ongoing Work in the Hall

  • DC Power (Mark Todd) needs an escorted access tomorrow at 9am (~1 hour)

Planned Accelerator Configuration Changes

Special Requests

  • Keep target expert schedule filled out on whiteboard
