The 6.4 GeV Run Plan (52 hrs)

• Conditions:

• Run Plan:
  • HMS is detecting electrons and SHMS is detecting protons.
  • Use HMS pion collimator and SHMS collimator.
  • Start with 30uA on lower 6% Carbon, after a 2 hr run, increase to 40 uA and after another 2 hr run move to the upper 6% Carbon and ask for 50 uA.
  • Keep track of good coincidence physics events (with tight PID cuts and coincidence time cut) such that we have 10000 events for LH2 and Carbon

  • For the singles runs the prescale factor on SHMS should be adjusted as needed to get about equal rate in HMS and SHMS (ie equal rates for PS1 and PS4).

• Q^2 = 11.5 GeV^2 Run Plan
  • Cycle HMS magnets since raising momentum
  • Keep track of good coincidence physics events (with tight PID cuts and coincidence time cut) such that we have 1000 events each for LH2 and Carbon

• Q^2 = 9.5 GeV^2 Run Plan
  • Cycle HMS magnets since raising momentum
  • Keep track of good coincidence physics events (with tight PID cuts and coincidence time cut)

HMS saturation measurement run plan

• Boiling studies

--> HMS, SHMS: 25 deg, -4.4 GeV/c (E = 10.6 GeV) (we will take data in both spectrometers at the same time)

--> shoot for 0.5 % statistical uncertainty where possible (no less than 0.8 %)

--> Trigger type will be ELREAL (prescale if needed to keep the DAQ rate below 3000 Hz)

Targets/currents:

--> Al: 40 uA

--> LH2: 10, 25, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 uA

--> LD2: 10, 25, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 uA

--> C 1.5%: 10, 35, 45, 55, 65 uA

• BCM calibration procedure

[ https://hallcweb.jlab.org/doc-public/ShowDocument?docid=957 ]

• HMS/SHMS saturation tests
  • Run two separate DAQs. For HMS PS2=0 and SHMS PS2=0, rest to -1.
  • Use the optics 1 target
  • Put sieve in HMS and centered sieve in SHMS
  • Maximum current.
  • Set HMS angle to 15 degrees and SHMS angle to 9 degrees.
  • Need to cycle magnets in HMS and SHMS.
  • Want to have 2000 counts in center foil.
  • For HMS the dipole NMR will be adjusted at each setting to give good Ytar versus Yptar.
  • For HMS at 5.9,5.7 and 5.5 have been done before. It is a consistency check. 5.3 and 5.1 will see if dipole needs to be changed.
  • For SHMS , just take data
