Run Plan (updated when needed)

• Draft d2n Run Plan

Rough / High-level sketch of d2n kinematic settings

Reduced kinematics list to accommodate limited beam time (dropped 1/4 of kinematics)

      ---------  Beam Params ----------
            E_beam = 10.4 GeV/c
            I_beam = 30 uA
            P_targ = 0.50
            P_beam = 0.80

          ---------  HMS ----------
       E'    theta    x        Q2       W
 A     4.2   13.5     0.207    2.414   3.178
 B     4.2   16.4     0.305    3.554   2.993
 C     4.0   20.0     0.418    5.018   2.806    --  Only setting compatible with SOLID Cherenkov small-angle test.

          --------- SHMS ----------
       E'    theta    x       Q2      W
 X     7.5   11.0     0.527   2.866   1.859
 Y     6.4   14.5     0.565   4.240   2.036
 Z     5.6   18.0     0.633   5.701   2.046

• Not shown is the 1-pass running (2--3'ish days)

Schedule Overview

• We should expect to have 6 weeks of beam
  • Hall C will have priority over Hall A (if there are beam loading, machine stability issues)

• Rough priorities:

1. We plan to start at 5-pass with kinematics A and X (small angle)

   We will start at 5-pass with kinematics C and X (small angle on SHMS, large angle on HMS)

   • This will allow the SOLID Cerenkov prototype folks to setup before beam and run their small-angle test on the HMS side.

2. Then move to kin A and Z (high-Q2 SHMS, small angle HMS)
3. Scheduling of Kin B, Y and 1-pass running would depend on how the Accel/target/virus behaves

Non-production runs

• Confirm we have all the optics we need!

  • Analyze and get the new matrices in the analyzer
  • Make sure we have empty target runs for all kinematics and all optics configurations to help disentangle beamline window contributions

• Nail down estimates for ref cell running (N2, H2, 3He, empty)

• Minimal/no positron running?

  • Perhaps measure the positron background in HMS at 20 degree and compare with model?

• 1-pass running considerations

  • HMS setting: 11.7 deg, -2.1483 GeV/c; SHMS setting: 8.5 deg, -2.12860 GeV/c
  • Install collimator
  • Turn off hodoscope bars as before: HMS [1]; SHMS [2]
  • Last time there was an issue with the raster; make sure we know what needs to be done [3] [Mark, Bill Gunning?]
