Hall C Pre-Ops presumably will start at beam energy above 6 GeV (3-pass or 4-pass) as first order one needs to prove the Key Performance Parameters are met. This means also the noble gas Cherenkov is in place. As soon as data is collected for this Cherenkov to validate the detector being operational (i.e., seeing signals fulfilling the Key Performance Parameters), we need to remove this detector and replace by the alternate SHMS vacuum extension, to reduce multiple scattering before the focal plane. This would require removal of some roof blocks and tech assistance. Beyond the >6 GeV checkout for most of the detector and spectrometer optics studies, we will also need about one day of one-pass beam energy, assumed to be in the 2.0-2.2 GeV range, to measure the dispersion matrix elements of the SHMS with a Carbon elastic scan.

Set the spectrometer magnets to the initial settings as calculated with the <span style="color:red">FIELD_12GEV (has a start been made already?)</span> program. This can be done before any optics fine-tuning of the quadrupoles/optics as the initial detector checkout can occur with a defocused run (in fact, it is preferred). Start at a spectrometer angle of 15 degrees and a central momentum of -3.0 GeV/c (assuming >6 GeV beam energy, if this would be one-pass beam energy choose -1.0 GeV/c). Use a current of about 10 μA, the central (Carbon) target of the optics target, and the fast raster with a size of 1 by 1 mm2. Use the large (pion or HMS-100 for HMS) collimators. Check that all electronics signals are well timed. Determine correct thresholds. Verify that all detector channels are counting. At this time checkoff the '''Initial Detector Checkout Plan''' (“near-final” for HMS, initial for SHMS to check off Key Performance Parameters) to make sure all detectors are operational. Check carefully that all wire chamber channels are cabled up correctly. Verify all scalers are incrementing. Check for double pulsing and time the wire chamber signals. Determine the scintillator plane efficiency for detecting electrons with the correct discriminator threshold, and make sure that the scintillator signals for detecting hadrons are on scale in the scintillator ADCs.

Since the beam line has drastically changed with respect to the 6-GeV beam operations we need to establish the nominal settings for the beam position at the last BPMs before the target. This can be done before or after the initial HMS checkout but should be done before the optics tuning of the SHMS.

Make sure there is no target in the beam line, or the central carbon target that can also handle unrastered beam. Take a superharp scan with fast raster off (2 μA current) with superharps IHA3H07A and IHA3H07B. Verify that the beam size is as expected – this was <math>\sigma_x \approx 80 \mu m</math>, <math>\sigma_y \approx 150 \mu m</math> under 6-GeV conditions, as long as it is roughly <math>200 \mu m</math> or better in both directions it should be good enough to proceed.

At a stable beam condition, using the fast raster with a size of 1 by 1 mm2 and the central carbon target, monitor the values of the three BPM's of the last beam line girder (IPM3H07A-C, or “A, B and C”) and take a short run (~10K). Verify that we have all three BPM's (in Epics readout) of the last beam line girder in the data stream and that the values are consistent with those from the MEDM/TCL screen. Next, use unrastered beam (fast raster off) and the central Carbon target of the optics targets, and 10 μA current. Record superharp scans (they will give us the absolute scales) and check those versus the beam positions given by the BPM's both from the MEDM/TCL screen and from Epics readout. Ask MCC to move the beam horizontally by ±1 and ±2 mm with a far upstream magnet, and record at each setting both superharps and the three BPM's, both from MEDM/TCL and from the data stream after short runs. Have the beam moved back to the nominal central position (horizontally) and ask MCC to move the beam vertically by ±1 and ±2 mm, recording at each setting again the two superharps and all three BPM's. Change the current to 20 μA and repeat the whole sequence. Change the current to 60 μA and repeat. Go back to 10 μA current and take a short run (~10K) with a fast raster with varying size, say 2 by 2, 3 by 3, and 4 by 4 mm2, recording superharp scans after each run (this to calibrate the fast raster size).

Use the HMS sieve slits in combination with the Carbon optics target (i.e. the central Carbon target on the optics target assembly hanging off the cryo target system). Use a current of less than 10 μA, and a fast raster size of 1 by 1 mm2, or with 0.5 mm radius. The exact raster shape does not matter: the raster can even be off in this configuration. Measure a short Carbon spectrum, about 250K events. Produce an ntuple, and do the following: select electrons with shower counter and/or Cherenkov cuts, and make a spectrum of x vs y at the nominal focal plane. What you should see is a ``spider" with 5 legs. The non-straightness of the central leg indicates there is an offset in the Z or Y direction. If you don't see a ``spider" or something resembling it one of the polarities of the HMS magnets is set wrong (or the magnet is off). If you see a ``spider" next thing to figure out is what the X, Y, and Z offsets are of your present ''beam-target interaction point'', but at least your tune is fine for detailed electronics/detector checkout.

Use the previous run, or if you are in the iteration process run at less than 10 μA current, use the Carbon optics target. Use a fast raster size of 1 by 1 mm2, or with 0.5 mm radius. The exact raster shape does not matter: the raster can even be off in this configuration. Take a short run (100K). Analyze and make an ntuple. Make the following plots: x vs y at the focal plane, xp vs yp at the target (you may have to use some Particle Id. and reconstruction cuts here!), and y at the target. You want to check the following: is the central leg of the ``spider" in x vs y at the focal plane straight? is the reconstructed y position close to y = 0? Is the central sieve slit hole close to (yp,xp) = (0,0)? If the xp position of the central sieve hole is close to 0, you probably are a bit off in vertical beam position after all, fix this. If you are far off (larger than 2 mr), check all your results carefully, did something go wrong in the vertical beam assignment? If the central leg of the ``spider" is close to vertical, you are close to having mid-plane symmetry for the spectrometer. You can vary the horizontal beam position a bit to check this. Note that the present quad alignment is such that the quad system is about 1 mm to the right of the line through the nominal pivot and the spectrometer angle, so the y position at the target can be a little bit negative, and the central leg of the spider can be slightly tilted. If the yp position of the central sieve hole is within 1 or 2 mr of the nominal zero position you are probably fine. The big uncertainty will be whether the targets are actually located at the nominal pivot (z = 0) position. If the target survey says otherwise, you expect (i) the central leg of the ``spider" not to be straight, (ii) the y reconstruction not to be perfect, and (iii) an offset in yp for the central sieve hole. If the three pieces of information are pretty much consistent with the survey assume you are done (note: the HMS sieve is at a distance of 1.66 meter of the target). You can consider checking this by using a hole target, or by rotating the spectrometer to a larger angle, and verifying that indeed things are consistent.

If done with the beam line checkout to establish a nominal centered beam on target, and having verified the beam-target interaction point using the well-understood and aligned HMS, one can consider a short run installing a hole target to ensure consistency. This checks that the target ladder position is well known, and that nothing went wrong in either establishing nominal positions for the last BPMs before target or the beam-target interaction centering with HMS.

Now that we know the beam-interaction point, we start looking at the SHMS. Use the Carbon optics target and beam raster pattern as before, and the collimator (no sieve slit needed yet). For SHMS, the point-to-point optics at the focal plane will look skewed as the horizontal bend magnet will ruin the regular symmetry of the spectrometer optics, so x and y will be coupled. Thus, for the SHMS you may have to compare simulated focal plane patterns with measurements to be able to judge if quadrupole fields differ from expected although you can do much with just looking at the focal plane pattern. First verify that we have obtained a point-to-point focus with the extrapolated quadrupole settings, by looking at plots of hsxfp vs. hsyfp. The SHMS should have a “tilted” hour glass pattern for a point target source, with the waist of the hourglass at (0,0). If not, vary the quadrupole settings in small steps (try 0.2, 0.5 or 1% steps. Q2 is most sensitive and 0.2% steps should be sufficient for Q2 – the gradient of motion of the hourglass waist is roughly 2 cm per % Q2 change. For Q1 it is about -0.4 cm per % Q1 change), until the golden tune (this is defined as the SHMS quadrupole settings that most closely reproduces the simulated sieve slit patterns at the focal plane) is obtained. Measure a spectrum with high statistics (>>100K) to use for later off-line checks and to continue the second phase of detector checkout – this is needed before starting the sieve slit runs. Check the time-to-distance maps, align the wire chamber positions in software and enable linked stub fitting, check the detector positions, check the timing and calibration constants (shower counter gains, pedestals, timing offsets, pulse height corrections, attenuation lengths, efficiencies, position dependencies). Optimize tracking properties. Make sure that <math>\Theta</math> and <math>\Phi</math> spectra are wide as expected. Construct <math>x</math>, <math>y</math>, <math>\Theta</math>, and <math>\Phi</math> spectra at the nominal focal plane. Does everything look reasonable? Check tracking with one wire chamber set against tracking with two wire chamber sets. Reconstruct target quantities.

=== Establish Standard SHMS Tune ===
+
  
−
Use the SHMS sieve slit with the middle vertical column centered in combination with the Carbon optics target. Use a current of less than 20 μA. Preferentially, the fast raster should be off for this series of measurements. However, a small fast raster size of 1 by 1 mm2 should also work. Measure a short Carbon spectrum of perhaps 100K events. Produce an ntuple, and do the following: make a spectrum of x vs y at the nominal focal plane. What you should see is a tilted ``spider" with 9 legs. The center of the spider/hourglass should be at (x,y) = 0 if everything went right. If not, check the beam interaction point and check the quadrupole magnet settings. Because the HB magnet destroys the mid-plane symmetry of the SHMS, you likely will need to compare simulated focal plane patterns with measurements to be able to judge if quadrupole fields are o.k. If you do see a difference you can try to change the quadrupole settings by say 0.1% and measure a new run and produce and ntuple to compare. If the patterns look similar we are done with establishing the Standard SHMS tune beyond the dispersion. <span style="color:red">We will first do more detailed detector checkout at 3- or 4-pass beam energy towards the Key Performance Parameters. Then, we first likely should go to one-pass beam energy to check the dispersion and then return to >6 GeV beam energy for further optics and systematic understanding checkout.</span>

If not already there, rotate the spectrometers to 15° and set the spectrometer momenta at 3.0 GeV/c (negative polarity, assuming >6 GeV beam energy) to increase the count rates. Plot the counts per wire chamber plane vs. the high voltage, determine the wire chamber high-voltage plateaus for electrons for both SHMS and HMS (as there are new wire chambers there – note that these do not require the checkout versus threshold of the previous HMS wire chambers). Choose correct operating voltages for detecting electrons.

By the time this starts all changes in the electronics and trigger have been made and the ADC gates for the calorimeter signals have been adjusted. With HMS and SHMS still at angles of 15° and momenta of -3.0 GeV/c, take a run with >100K statistics each. Adjust the delay time for the ADC gates with +/-20 ns and measure again. If the gate timing is optimal, the ``maximum" ADC values should change less than 5%. Adjust the gate timing if not optimal and repeat. If the gate timing is optimal, start gain matching by adjusting the HV's. For optimal HV settings the ADC peaks must be in the range between 80 and 100. Adjust the HV of those PMT's which are out of this range (a ±50 V change results in a change of ~15-20% in amplitude). After this procedure '''NEVER''' change the HV settings for the calorimeter PMT's anymore. Now take large statistics runs (>250K each). If time permits, one can consider reversing the polarities of both spectrometers and take again large statistics runs (>250K each). Do not use the Particle Id. trigger in any of these runs!

Take a large run (250K) for both HMS and SHMS to check wire chamber time-to-distance maps, align the wire chamber positions in software and enable linked stub fitting, check the detector positions, check the timing and calibration constants (shower counter gains, pedestals, timing offsets, pulse height corrections, attenuation lengths, efficiencies, position dependencies). Optimize tracking properties. Make sure that <math>\Theta</math> and <math>\Phi</math> spectra are wide as expected. Construct <math>x</math>, <math>y</math>, <math>\Theta</math> and <math>\Phi</math> spectra at the nominal focal plane. Does everything look reasonable? Check tracking with one wire chamber against tracking with two wire chamber sets. Reconstruct target quantities. This run can be used for the initial timing/calorimeter/cherenkov calibrations.

Here, we want to illuminate the whole detector plane. Adjust the current settings of the HMS Q2 and SHMS Q2 (20% different from default should do the trick). Use the BeO target, and central momentum settings of -3.0 GeV/c (assuming both spectrometers are still at 15o). Make sure that all ADC's, TDC's '''including''' the RF TDC are present. Measure a spectrum with high statistics (250K) to use for later off-line checks. Check the time-to-distance maps, align the wire chamber positions in software and enable linked stub fitting, check the detector positions, check the timing and calibration constants (shower counter gains, pedestals, timing offsets, pulse height corrections, attenuation lengths, efficiencies, position dependencies).
