HMS/SHMS Magnet Cycling Procedures

HMS

  • ALWAYS set DIPOLE by NMR coming DOWN from 900 A
  • Set QUADS by initially setting to a current of 200 A above the set currents (or the maximum current of 1100 A for Q1 if set current + 200 > 1100), and then coming DOWN.

SHMS

  • General principal: A magnet will be “on loop” if it has been taken to Imax (11 GeV) and stays on the descending branch of the hysteresis loop. Otherwise it is "off loop"
  • Cycle procedure: Go to Imax and descend to target current.
  • Action logic table
Status/Action Magnet status is “on loop” Magnet status is “off loop”
Increasing abs(p) at this polarity Cycle Cycle
Decreasing abs(p) at this polarity Descend to target current Cycle
Changing polarity Set to 0 current, switch polarity, cycle Set to 0 current, switch polarity, cycle

  • We will take a set of 1H(e,e’p) measurements to check the angle and dp/p offsets for the spectrometers. Use a current of 50 μA if possible. Rotate both HMS and SHMS to -27.5° again (or keep them there if already at that angle). Keep both HMS and SHMS at a central momentum of -3.609 GeV/c. First use the sieve slit on the SHMS side and the central Carbon optics target. Use the Particle Id. trigger, and measure about 2K singles in SHMS (that should take about one hour). Now install the 10 cm hydrogen target and measure about 2K singles in SHMS (that is again about one hour). Now take a coincidence spectrum in the same situation, again a measurement of about one hour. Remove the sieve slit on the SHMS side and use the large collimator. Measure a coincidence spectrum for one hour (rate should be 4 Hz, so this will get >10K statistics). Now install the sieve slit on the HMS side and measure another coincidence spectrum for a few hours (a few K statistics).

Elastic p(ep) Checkout

  • Take runs to acquire roughly 10K events for HMS (use the large pion collimator!) at angles of 27.5°, 28.8°, 30.1°, 24.9°, and 26.2°. For SHMS at identical angles but also at angles of 31.8°, 33.5°, 35.2° and 23.2°. Roughly, at the central setting you need 45 minutes to acquire 10K statistics, and less at the lower angles, but perhaps 1.5 hour at 30.1°, and up to 5 hours at the largest SHMS angle of 35.2°.
