• Spokespeople for E12-10-002

• • Simona Malace - spokesperson, contact
  • Eric Christy - spokesperson
  • Thia Keppel - spokesperson
  • Ioana Niculescu - spokesperson

• To Do List/Assignments

• • 'In preparation for running:'

• • • Production Run Plan - Simona (with students Deb, Lauren)
    • Most of the following are done, need to post to wiki
      • • Choice of kinematics - done
        • Radiative corrections calculation - working on it
        • Charge-symmetric background calculation - done
        • Pion rates calculation - done
        • Estimation of detector rates - done
        • Tentative Trigger rates - done
        • Order of kinematic production running - done
        • Coordinate with Dave Gaskell for combined E12-10-002/E12-10-008 running - ongoing

• • • Non-production run plan - Eric (with Deb)

• • • • • Elastics
        • BCM calibrations
        • Luminosity scans
        • Beam position on target
        • Rate dependence of tracking
        • Optics and pointing checks
        • Trigger checkout/optimization
        • External Rad. Corr. checks
        • What else?

• • • Online analysis coordination - Simona, with students: Deb (HU), Kayla (U. of Tennessee), Lauren (W&M)
    • This is the Summer project I chose for Lauren Liegey (W&M graduate student); she will spend 2 months at JLab working with me on this (she starts on 05/23/16)

• • • • Codes to monitor quality of data online: check deadtimes, efficiencies and quality of calibrations
        • Simona already has these in fortran/kumac; with Lauren will convert to C
      • Hcana working and ready for online replay
        • Simona ran the hcana on few of the Jan05 runs, with Lauren will do some higher level analysis to make sure we get all we need from the analyzer
      • Cross section code ready for online cross sections extraction
        • Will use the Rosen07 framework, Simona is already running this for Rosen07

• • • Online analysis coordination - Eric (Ioana ?)

• • • • Calibrations codes ready - in C; the colorimeter calibration code is already written; need the rest and also we need to post how to's and why's on the wiki
      • Use MC to produce acceptance corrections at the kinematics of E12-10-002
      • Data - MC comparison codes

• • • Items needed for efficient running - All

• • • • Shift checklist: create/post on wiki - Ioana?

• • • • Run sheets: create/post on wiki - Ioana?

• • • • Post production run plan on wiki - Simona

• • • • Post non-production run plan on wiki - Eric

• • • • Post on wiki procedures/how to's (+ most common problems and how to solve them) for:

• • • • • HV operation - Simona
        • Beam restoration: BeO, harp scan, C-hole run, bull's eye scan etc. - Eric
        • CODA running - Eric, Ioana ?
        • Change of spectrometers momenta - Ioana?
        • Change of spectrometers angle - Ioana?
        • Online histograms monitoring - Simona

• • 'While running:'

• • • Make sure shifts are staffed - All

• • • Make sure we have run coordinators - All

• • • One spokesperson (at least) should be in the counting house most of the time to follow progress of running or fill in shifts, if needed - Eric, Simona, Ioana (we rotate)

• • • Make sure the online analysis progresses so we can make decisions on the fly about changes in the run plan - Simona (and all)

• • 'After running:'

• • • Offline analysis coordination: includes organizing/chairing weekly meetings, establishing analysis task and timeline, making sure analysis progresses according to the plan and ensuring that the analysis is properly documented - Simona (primary), Eric (back-up)

• • • Organizing Collaboration meetings (at JLab) which involve spokespeople, students from the other commissioning experiments (probably one a month in the beginning) - All, we rotate

• • • Ensure maximum physics output from data- All
