Notes from March 10th meeting

• Need to check whether the beam pipe will allow one to go to 8-9.5 degrees. (Dave Gaskell will look into this.)
• Get the Q1 mapping information from Steve Lassiter.
• Need to keep track of detector surveys. Contact Bert Metzger.
• Put code for setting field on wiki.
  • see HMS and SHMS Dipole section
• Double check to understand why there is a 0.7% difference between field at +3900A and -3900A.
  • The probe readings had not been corrected.
• Change the effective length of HB by 4% to see effects on the optics. Look at sieve.
• Need table for conversion of all magnet currents to momentum.
• Check with Steve Lassiter about what is exactly thinking of using to mitigate the HB stray fields. Wedges + C-section + iron pipe?
• Work on run plans. (Rolf and Tanja)

Preparation plans

• Magnets.
  • Determination of B versus I curve. Develop new code for setting SHMS. Revise HMS field setting codes.
  • Cycling procedure especially for HB. Look what is done for the HMS.
  • Double check that the magnet field between magnets are superpositions.
  • Survey of the positioning of magnets.
• Carbon elastics at 2 pass.
• Survey of collimators, detectors and beamline components.
• Survey of HMS/SHMS pointing at different angles. Look into what was done in the past for HMS commissioning. Determine a list of angles for survey.
• Need to come up with the sieve pattern as a function of quad settings.
• Need to look at use of ideal dipole versus TOSCA field map for HB in COSY.
• Checked with Howard about the quad field centering. The idea that Howard had didn't work. Need to rely on mapping data.
• Integration of detector checkout and optics.

Carbon elastics

• Results from Dipangkar for 1 pass- 2.2 GeV, and 2 pass -4.4 GeV). Measurements at 8-9.5 are doable.
• Need to check whether the beam pipe will allow one to go to 8-9.5 degrees. (Dave Gaskell will look into this.)

SHMS HB mapping

• A Lakeshore Hall probe was used for the mapping measurements. The probe has a linearity error as a function of magnetic field which was measured by the company ( Table of data). This linearity error is different for positive and negative field directions. In the data table, the Error = abs(Measured Field)-abs(True Field). So for positive fields True Field = Measured Field - Error. For negative fields True Field = Measured filed + Error.
• Document and plots about mapping of B versus I at center of HB bore and the fringe fields in the beam region.
  • B/I versus I plot.
• Measurements of B at bore center versus I when ramping magnet from 0 to +3900 and back to 0. Then switch polarity and ramp from 0 to -3900 and back to zero.
  • plot of absolute difference between B when ramping magnet up and down versus I when going to +3900 and -3900.
  • plot of relative difference between B when ramping magnet up and down versus I when going to +3900 and -3900.
  • Plot of difference in B between ramping up to +3900 and ramping up to -3900 versus current.
  • When ramping to negative currents there was a trip at I= -3139A. Plot of difference between first ramp to -3139A and the second.
• Document and plots about mapping Of B versus z for five different x,y locations (center,top,bottomleft and right) for I = 2000, 3000, 3500 and 3900A.
