Step 1

  • Restore items noted in HCLOG 3809218 when site access is restored.

Pre-beam Target Work

  • Test Kepco in current mode (Bill)
    • New filter (for 180 Hz) to install for current mode operation fix. Can always go to voltage mode if it doesn't work.
    • Establish/verify a known-good production mode
  • pNMR issues
    • Software : Software/driver issue needs to be resolved. Checkout during next non-production down time (Moller or SHMS fix)
  • EPR problems : [1] saw some progress on Tuesday [2], but issues remain.
    • Tentative plan now is to continue the d2n program by replacing the photo-diode that is placed directly on the pumping chamber (we have many spares).
    • It would be good to write up a procedure to streamline this replacement procedure for us and RadCon
  • NMR Calibration Constants : Verify that calibration constants and input values associated with NMR and other polarimetry are consistent and will be correct when the software is restarted


Pending Issues

  • Fix the epics variable for target field angle. This is the PV which is calculated from the coils currents that is in the startOfRun entries. It needs a new formula since we changes the coil orientation (Bill)
  • Verify that all other EPICS channels are present and are still being archived [Brad]
  • Look at trigger related signals on the scope under high load (reftime extra pules, FADC reftime-shaper pileup?, NGC noise/rate questions) [Brad]
  • Target Ladder software must throw an error on a 'voltage' readback mismatch! [8] -- Ethan working on this
  • Get 3H07B Harp repaired [9] [10]; and a puzzle [11]
    • This is being pursued by Brad, Thia, et al. Still trying to make sure it gets on EES/IC's pre-beam repair list.
  • https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3807201 Has Arun's note about the unfortunate reference cell alignment vs. the rest of the target ladder.
    • NOTE: "Shift Leader must request a beam that is shifted horizontally to the beam left side by 2 mm to prevent scraping."
    • Is there a way to shift the reference cell position before beam starts?
  • USB bridge : Contact with Target readbacks through AnywhereUSB USB bridge still drop out on occasion
  • iochc10 issues : Green now: Rebooted 3/2/20 with Dave Gaskell assistance. OPs wished to reboot hung iochc10 [12], noted in December as well [13]
    • Confirm relevant procedures have been updated at MCC (Gaskell, Paul V.?)
    • This runs the Moller cryo controls and should not be rebooted without expert oversight (does not impact operations). D. Gaskell is looking into getting this addressed properly with OPs.
  • Compton related items in Hall C beam steer-up procedure still cause confusion between MCC and Shift Crew -- Gaskell?
    • Procedures need to be updated at MCC
  • Verify that inputs to 'Scale32'/G0 scalers (ie ROC5) are > 10ns in width. (Brad, Steve)
    • replace the G0 scalers with something newer/better (SIS38xx or similar)
  • Online analysis software ready to go? (Sylvester?, Brad)
    • Most should be fine, but are we missing any 'physics' plots?

Pre-beam punchlist

Copied from pre-beam punchlist done just before MC6 shutdown. Some items are completed and just need verification (as needed).

Techs w/ RadCon [Todd (or designate) for cooling jets]

  • Turn on turbos for downstream beamline
  • Turn on turbos for SHMS and HMS spectrometer vacuums
  • Remove the guards on the SHMS and HMS entrance windows (verify)
  • Remove the guards on the both upstream and downstream beamline windows (verify)
  • Ensure the beamline window cooling jets are in position and on (verify)
  • Ensure the target window cooling jets are in position and on (verify)
  •  ??

Miscellaneous

  • [RadCon, RC] RadCon checklist
  • [Gaskell] Beamline checklist
  • [Brad] Detector/DAQ checklist
  • [Walter] Hall checklist
  • [OPS, RC] Schedule hot checkout of Hall C arc magnets/power-supplies
  • [OPS, RC] Verify all relevant FSDs that may have been masked for the down are known about and ready to unmasked when appropriate
  • [Lassiter] Enable all spectrometer magnet supplies, restore production settings for Cryo
  • [Gaskell] Moller cooldown
  • [Brad] Double check that rotation is enabled in the GUIs for both spectrometers
  • [Brad] Ramp all SHMS and HMS magnets to something modest (quick check), or to first kinematic. For example:
    • SHMS: 11.0deg, 7.5 GeV/c
    • HMS: 13.5deg, 4.2 GeV/c
    • NOTE: Coordinate with the target group on the appropriate HB setting so we don't interfere with any target pumping.
  • [Techs, Brad?] Do a final check to ensure that there are no potential issues with remote spectrometer rotation
  • Restart main alarm handler (resets masked channels)
  • Restart target alarm handler (if needed)
