=== CaFe Trigger Set-Up ===
 +
 +
The CaFe experiment will detect electrons in SHMS and protons in HMS. The SHMS will be stationed at 8.55 GeV/c and range from ~6.8 deg to 8.3 deg, therefore the
 +
electron singles rates are expected to be significant. To minimize singles rates, it was decided to turn off half of the SHMS S1X and S2X hodoscope planes. To
 +
select a clean sample of electrons in SHMS, it was decided to 1) use SHMS EL-REAL trigger and 2) set the SHMS Noble Gas Cherenkov pion threshold to ~10.3 GeV/c
 +
(pion emits Cherenkov light at >= 10.3 GeV/c). During online data-taking we'll need to check how efficient is the Cherenkov at this configuration (~90% Neon, ~10% Argon).
 +
The latest trigger configuration from the previous run-group can be found in log-entry: https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3892668
 +
The 3rd bullet point from the log-entry is IMPORTANT, since it suggests the pEL_REAL x h3/4 cable was terminated and left dangling in case we need it again, which we will during CaFe.
