Shift Checklist Help
- The How-to page is extremely helpful. Use Firefox's "Page search" to help find what you are looking for.
- There is also an older Shift Checklist help file, which may help to locate items. (But it is a stale document.) Below is an updated table.
| What | Where to find it | How to do it |
|---|---|---|
| DATE (day-month-year) | As given by Run Control | Enter as DD-MM-YY |
| Time (24-hour clock) | As given by Run Control | Write the time into the cell |
| Your Name | As given by your parents | Write legibly |
| Beam Conditions from Overview Screen, DAQ, MEDMs, and Scalers | ||
| Beam Energy (MeV) | The Hall C Summary Screen should be displayed on a wall monitor. If not see this page to bring it up: EPICS/Accelerator_Screens. | Write down the Hall C beam energy |
| Beam Current (uA) | Same as above | MPS and Hall C BCM readings should be similar. Record the
reading |
| Beam position lock on? | Use jmenu and search for 'lock.' Then choose 'Orbit Locks Normal View
and look for 'HallCOrb.' It should be in green and show 'Running.' |
Write 'yes' or 'no' in the cell |
| Beam energy lock on? | Use jmenu and search for 'lock.' Then choose 'Energy Locks.' | Write down the three colors: one for '0R, 1A, 2A.' (They should all be green. This indicates 'yes.') |
| IPM3H07A, B, and C BPM positions. Are they nominal? | See the Hall C Summary Screen. | Record the displayed beam position. Compare it with the nominal position posted on
the white board or sticky note. |
| Fast Raster Pattern | Go to the electronics room and verify the raster pattern on the oscilloscope screen is circular. | Record 'yes' if so (you should! especially if beam is on!) If not, notify the TO and MCC. |
| Fast Raster Setpoint for Width,
Height [x, y] (mm) |
Use jmenu and search for 'fast raster.' The screen is "Hall C Raster Controls." | Record the set sizes in the “Set Raster Size” box. |
| Fast Raster Measured Currents (IxO3H, Ix04H, Iy03V, IyO4V) [A] | Use jmenu and search for 'fast raster.' The screen is "Hall C Raster Controls." | Record the the four measured currents (Ix and Iy for two H and two V coils) from the
“Raster Measured Current” box. |
| Helicity Reporting Delay (No Delay, ___ Windows) | Use jmenu and search for 'helicity,' then choose 'Helicity Control.' Look for 'Reporting Delay.' | Record the time of delay (it should be 8 windows). |
| Alarm Handler Status (General) | The Alarm Handler process must be running and always visible on one of the desktop machines. If it isn't, bring it up using this page: Hall_C_Alarm_Handler | Verify that it is running, and that the alarm sound is NOT silenced. (N.B.: this is not the old legacy high-voltage alarm. ) |
| HMS Collimator Setting | Use jmenu → 'Standalone Menus' → 'Hall C.' On the Hall C Operations Menu under “Experiment Specific” is HMS Coll. Motion Control. | Determine and record the collimator position. For physics runs, HMS should be either PION or LARGE. |
| SHMS Collimator Setting | Use jmenu → 'Standalone Menus' → 'Hall C.' On the Hall C Operations Menu under “Experiment Specific” is SHMS Coll. Motion Control. | Determine and record the collimator position. For physics runs, SHMS should be COLLIMATOR. |
| HMS Trigger Rate | On the CODA GUI Screen, next to the appropriate prescaler value (ps1 thru ps6). | Record the typical instantaneous rate |
| Target (material, length) | Ask the target operator (TO). | Record which target is in the beam. |
| Drift Ch. Mixer Flows: Ar/Eth (~0.3/~0.3 slpm) | Type “go munin” and select “gas_shed” under Categories on the left side of the page. You can also find the needed charts here: [Flow and Temperature Charts] | Record “Argon Flow” and “Ethane Flow.” |
| Drift Chamber Gas Delivery Press (500 ± 5 Torr) | Same as above. | Record “Ar:Eth Pressure.” |
| Drift Ch. Gas Isopropanol Temp. (2 ± 2 C) | Same as above. | Record the “Isopropanol Fridge” temperature. |
| SHMS Trigger Rate | On the CODA GUI Screen, next to the appropriate prescaler value (ps1 thru ps6). | Record the typical instantaneous rate |
| HMS Dead Time | On the CODA GUI Screen, under the "computer live time" tab. | Calculate and record the average value |
| SHMS Dead Time | On the CODA GUI Screen, under the "computer live time" tab. | Calculate and record the average value |
