• 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
      • Radiative corrections calculation
      • Charge-symmetric background calculation
      • Pion rates calculation
      • Estimation of detector rates
      • Summary of trigger setup: trigger configuration, thresholds for various detectors
      • Trigger rates
      • Order of kinematic production running
      • Coordinate with Dave Gaskell for combined E12-10-002/E12-10-008 running

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

• • • • Elastics
      • BCM calibrations
      • Luminosity scans
      • Beam position on target
      • Rate dependence of tracking
      • What else?

• • • Online analysis coordination - Simona, with students: Deb (HU), Kayla (U. of Tennessee), Lauren (W&M)

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

• • • 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 (became familiar with it while working on the HMS and SHMS scintillators)
        • 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 - Simona, Eric, 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
