Rough / High-level sketch of d2n kinematic settings

Reduced kinematics list to accommodate limited beam time (dropped 1/4 of kinematics)

Run / Shift Schedule

  • We started taking on Swing on Aug 7 (took a few days for beam to stabilize)
  • Beam is scheduled to turn off 8am, Sept 21 (roughly 6 weeks) [1]
  • Hall C Shift Schedule

Data Collection Status

  • Data collection status is best monitored using d2n_status_table on cdaq@cdaql1
[cdaq@cdaql1 ~]$ go_analysis pro
cdaq@cdaql1:~/polhe3/production/hallc_replay$ d2n_status_table

    • You can use the Hall C Run List Summaries link under the HCLog Useful Links sidebar on the right as a shortcut.
  • The runtimes and estimated yields are based on Rate Estimate Updates (19 Mar 2020) by Wolfgang

Positron Running (Charge Sym BG study)


- Simona showed a nice plot from the Hall C F2 running that indicates the e+:e- correction is indeed quite small (she'll send out the F2 data to the group)

 - That argues that all we need to measure are rates -- much simpler/faster.

- Mike will locate the data from Marathon as well

- For rates only, it looks like it would be better to use the SHMS instead since its polarity can be reversed remotely

 - So, the tentative plan is to flip the SHMS polarity (remotely) and take positive polarity data on Sunday; after we have completed the
   longitudinal production running.  At that point we don't have to worry about impacting the pol. He3 polarization.
 - We'll get this into the run plan for the weekend.

1-pass Running


 - See dedicated section as well
 - We will be setting up Tommy for the next cell
   - Butterball has the wrong dimensions

Longitudinal Running


 - That would place the longitudinal running for this kinematic pair (Kin-A, Kin-X) starting
     next Thursday swing following the Moller.
 - Once we have the needed longitudinal statistics (1--2 days), we will collect the remaining
   reference cell data (including He3!) and perhaps do a beam energy calibration before moving\
   to 1-pass on Monday, Aug 24.

Remaining Reference Cell running at current settings


                    Kin-A    Kin-C    Kin-X
 - REF-Hydrogen      42%       0%*     114%    (collected)
 - REF-Nitrogen      97%      76%*     121%    (collected)
 - REF-Vacuum        46%      --%*      45%    (collected)
 - REF-He3           --%      --%       --%    (collected)
   - make He3 the last ref-cell fill at 5-pass, so we can do the pressure
     curve run on He3 at 1-pass

Pol 3-He Cell Change


- Do this after the 1-pass running (Start Day shift, Thurs Aug 27) - Do Moller and Ref Cell running as needed at 1-pass while testing and spinning back up

5-pass Production Procedure

  • SHMS and HMS runs are independent, but are run in pairs that should reflect similar rates (when posible)
    • Run time for each of the 3 kinematic pairs is roughly 125 PAC hours, ~10 calendar days/pair
  • General considerations
- Flip IHWP every 4--8 hours (coordinate with Hall A)
- Ensure Charge Asym Feedback is running/working (watch the stripcharts and coordinate with Hall A)
- Take NMR meas. every ~5 hours
- Schedule a Moller run roughly every week
  - Target spin rotations/tests should be done immediately prior to the Moller so target has time to spin back up
  • Reference cell runs needed for all Kinematics (nominal 2--4 hours per kinematic)
 - Reference cell Nitrogen [135 psig]  (Insert when we need time to spin up Polarized Cell)
 - Reference cell Hydrogen [135 psig]  (Insert when we need time to spin up Polarized Cell)
 - Reference cell Vacuum   [0 Torr]    (Insert when we need time to spin up Polarized Cell)
 - Reference cell He3      [135 psig]  (NOTE: Make best use of He3 by running this last in first kinematic, then first in next kinematic!)
  • Polarized 3He Target • Transverse (90, 270) • Total run time 8--10 days
- Flip target spin after 3--4 days
- Run 3--4 more days with the opposite target spin
  • Polarized 3He Target • Longitudinal (0, 180) • Total run time ~1--2 days
 - Flip IHWP at 1/2 way into each run block (~4 hours)
  - ~11 hours @   0deg
  - ~11 hours @ 180deg

1-pass Running

  • Pass change to 1-pass: 8am Monday, August 24
  • Pass change to 5-pass: 8am Thursday, August 27
  • That is a nominal 64 hours (assuming 8 hours for pass change)

 https://hallcweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/1-pass_calibration_for_A1n
  • Verify the following well before 1-pass period
 - Confirm SHMS + HMS 1-pass optics is good!
 - Ensure the 1-pass analysis scripts are ready (Scott, Chao); Chao reports that is ready to go now
 - Confirm the T2/T3 trigger (3/4+cher) is ready to go (Brad)
  • Necessary Prep work during Hall Controlled Access (schedule with RadCon in advance)
 - Install collimators (JP, RadCon)
 - Check on EPR photo-diode status, likely replace it (RadCon)
 - Ensure fast raster is reconfigured correctly (Expert: Jones, Gunning)
   - "Have MCC click on the button on the Expert page for 1 coil (instead of
     2 coils). Ensure "gbeam_pass1_jan2020.param" is used for analysis"
  • Moller Measurement ASAP (also allows target to spin up after above prep work)
    • Precision on this measurement does not have to be perfect -- mostly a sanity check to ensure there are no surprises
  • Turn off SHMS/HMS bars following A1n example

1-pass Runs

  • Pressure curves (~ 6 hours)
 - Record ref cell pressure before and after each run!
 - He3       : 10,  8,  4,  2,  1,  0.5 atm  (20 min/run) -- 2 hours/setting + overhead
 - Nitrogen  : 10,  8,  4,  2,  1,  0.5 atm  (20 min/run) -- 2 hours/setting + overhead
  • Hydrogen elastic [10 atm] (1 hour)
  • Reference Cell vacuum (2 hours)
  • Pol He3 Delta Transverse ( 4--8 hours )
  • Pol He3 Elastic and QE longitudinal Asyms ( 4--8 hours )
 * Pol He3 Elastic group has run simulations and recommend that we start
   with the SHMS at 11deg (instead of 8.5deg).
   - That shows an equal or better FoM, and we are less exposed to the
     high-rate backgrounds, and will /not/ require extra staff support and time
     to rotate SHMS to that angle.
 - Collect our baseline Pol He3 Elastic asym at 11 deg, then continue with
   the Pol He3 Elastic group's run plan (stepping the SHMS out in angle)
   until we run out of beam time.
   - HMS will remain parked at around 18.5 degrees
