Minutes
General
- Eric updated the detector readiness tables and added a DAQ/TRIGGER portion
- Spokespeople for the upcoming experiments are urged to look at the listed triggers and contact Brad or Eric if they require any further trigger configurations
- Detector groups were also urged to update the individual detector pages as well the readiness table so that it is clearly understood what still needs to be done prior to running in December
- Eric advertised the new hallc online/offline monitoring working group meetings
- Spokespeople for the upcoming runs are urged to present their needs for monitoring and replays at these meetings
- The meetings will one held weekly on Tuesdays at 11 AM
HMS
12 GeV Drift Chambers
- Bishnu showed some slides
- It was previously reported that there was many issues with the chambers
- The chambers were moved to the TED highbay clean room and many issues were identified
- Chamber 1 was opened, cleaned, and repaired
- After HV was applied the chamber 1 it was still pulling 30 uA at 1850V with Ar:CO2
- Chamber 2 was moved into hall-C and now chamber is drawing 110 nA at 2100V with Ar:Ethane
- Future plans are connect chamber 2 to DAQ in the hall to measure the plateau curve and perform threshold studies
- The outlook for the chambers is good
SHMS

- The HV issues have been resolved and the GEM is back online
- The misunderstanding of the latency is now understood
- They have successfully performed latency scans in a robust manner
- A standalone trigger with the production 3/4 trigger has been implemented
- The latencies were directly measured on the scope and then translated to the CRL configuration
- The latencies are clearly understood now
- The TI firmware in ROC12 has been updated in conjunction with the rest of the SHMS ROC’s
- The latency between the two firmware versions do not modify the delay between the L1A and the pre-trigger as expected
- The GEM group are going to steal the DAQ afternoon/tonight for a cosmic run
- No other triggers will be configured in this run for these integrated DAQ tests

- The cosmic test stand is sitting on the Hall-C floor
- It currently forms 5 space points with 4 fold coincidences to select perpendicular cosmic tracks through the quartz bars
- Pedestals were annoyingly narrow!
- 3 weeks should be available for testing
- The plane needs to be back in the stack prior to Nov 20
Heavy Gas Cherenkov
