Current Status
- Accelerator status:
- Ops will be doing RF work during day shift
- Will try to bring Hall C to 80 uA during swing shift
- Experiment status:
- pionLT completed data-taking @ kinematic setting: SHMS Right Q2=3.85 W=2.62 x=0.39
- changed kinematics (shms angle) to SHMS Center Q2=3.85 W=2.62 x=0.39

Physics Status
Notices in Effect for Shift Crew
- Please pro-rate ABU for max current limit in run plan (uA) in beam time accounting. For example, if we receive 15 uA instead of the max_current_limit in the run plan, then the ABU should be: ABU_prorated = 15/(max current limit) * ABU
- Message from Ole Hansen: There will be a brief (<30min) outage of the Hall A and Hall C /work servers on Tuesday (6/21). This will happen during the workday already instead of the usual 5pm-10pm time slot for monthly IT maintenance. Please plan accordingly, i.e. don't start any mass replays ;-)
- Check the HMS/SHMS rates for when production starts, since for Heep coin. production SHMS saw higher rates. Make sure shift crew takes snapshot of scalers at every setting
- When analyzing LD2 or Al dummy or LH2, please leave the target_mass_amu in the standard.kinematics as that of the proton, but when analyzing the data with the pionLT script, specify the target used, as different targets will have different ranges in the cuts when integrating the missing mass peak. Refer to log entry: https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4005387 These instructions are given in the pionLT run plan.
Current Issues
- shift crew continues to see HMS DC noise outbursts more frequently, see log-entries:
Tried to raise HMS DC thresholds to 20V to reduced possible ringing in the electronics, with the hope that the noise outbursts would reduce oscillations, but did not seem to work.
Planned Accesses to the Hall
- During the next accelerator RF recovery period (NOTE: Tues Jun 21 @ 08:00 up to noon), request Controlled Access (with Full Survey):
- Hall C Expert needs to check SHMS ROC 4 Slot 9 Channel 0 FADC for potentially loose connection, as Column 5, Row 1 block appears to have no occupancy. SHMS Cal Occupancy ( PENDING )
- Xinzhan Bai request to go to restricted access to quickly swap MPD electronics out and check signals (~ 30 min.), whenever there is extended down (most likely during next accelerator maintenance period) : Contact: xbai@jlab.org, cell: (434) 422-2809 ( PENDING )
- During the accelerator full maintenance day (Thursday Jun 23, 2022)
- S. Lassiter needs to put crush washers in LCW filters, so we may see a little bit of water by the HMS boogie for now, until he can put the washers next week, during maintenance period HMS Dipole LCW ( PENDING )
Planned Accelerator Configuration Changes
- Accelerator RF Recovery period tomorrow, Tues Jun 21 from 08:00 am to 12:00 pm
- Full accelerator maintenance day on Thursday, Jun 23.
Special Requests
- Mark Jones would like to take HMS optics data with a 4x4 mm^2 raster at some point (when HMS is at a lower momentum, i.e., current setting) for checks. ( DONE )
- D. Gaskell took a run with Carbon target and raster set to 4x4 mm^2. See run https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4004280
