Rough / High-level sketch of d2n kinematic settings

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

      ---------  Running Conditions ----------
            E_beam = 10.4 GeV/c             I_beam = 30 uA             P_beam = 0.80

          ---------  HMS ----------

 A    -4.2   13.5     0.207    2.414   3.178 -- Currently here (will take positive pol. data here too)
 B    -4.2   16.4     0.305    3.554   2.993
 C    -4.0   20.0     0.418    5.018   2.806 -- Started here (only setting compatible with SOLID Cherenkov small-angle test); will return here after 1-pass

          --------- SHMS ----------
       E'    theta    x       Q2      W
 X    -7.5   11.0     0.527   2.866   1.859 -- Started here, still here

 Z    -5.6   18.0     0.633   5.701   2.046 -- Next setting after 1-pass running

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

  • The above table is also posted to the HCLog every shift with the subject "Recent SHMS and HMS run list".
    • 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
    • (NOTE: Ignore the primed kinematics in the file, they are not relevant anymore.)

Special Runs

Miscelaneous Calibrations

Optics Running (OPTIONAL)

  • We took all of the critical Optics data we need back in March. (These have been analyzed.)
  • [OPTIONAL] Additional Optics running
    • Kin-X (SHMS) P = -7.500, Th = 11.00 (Sieve, No-Sieve) (6--8 hours)
    • Kin-B (HMS) P = -4.200, Th = 16.40 (No-Sieve) (1 hour)
    • NOTE: (We would take the above runs together and likely just take both Sieve

and No-Sieve in each arm.

Notes for Near Term Running

NOTE: This will be updated frequently

Positron Running (Charge Sym BG study)

F2 CSB Data LH2 (or LD2?)
Marathon CSB Data on He3

- Simona showed a nice plot from the Hall C F2 running of their CSB correction at 21deg vs E'.

 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 Nycz provided some 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

 - We will juggle the positive running in Kin-Z with taking longitudinal data on Thu/Fri (Aug 20, 21)
 - Warning (Aug 20):  The positive SHMS running seems to have impacted the target much more than anticipated.
 - Took positive SHMS running for Kin-X (+7.500  11.00deg) on OWL, Aug 20 -- Done
 - WANT positive SHMS running for Kin-Z (+5.600  18.00deg) -- TBD

Longitudinal Running

 - Every kinematic requires roughly 10--12 hours of longitudinal running
 - We will attempt some longitudinal running for this kinematic pair (Kin-A, Kin-X) starting
     Thursday swing following the Moller (Aug 20)
 - We will have to come back to these kinematics next week!

Reference Cell Running

 - Every kinematic requires roughly 12 hours of Reference cell running
   - REF-Hydrogen, REF-Nitrogen, REF-Vacuum, REF-He3
   - NOTE: Make He3 the last ref-cell fill before a major change, so we 're-use' the He3
           in the next setting.

Pol 3-He Cell Change -- Starting Friday, Aug 21

 - We will be setting up Tommy for the next cell
   - Butterball has the wrong dimensions (out of spec)
 - Do Moller and Ref Cell running as needed at 1-pass while testing target and spinning back up

1-pass Running -- Starting Mon, Aug. 31; Ending Thu, Sep 3

 - Pass change defered for 8am Monday, Aug 31
 - See D2n_Run_Plan_2020#1-pass_Running below for details

5-pass Production Procedure

  • SHMS and HMS runs are independent, but are run in pairs that should reflect similar rates (when possible)
    • Run time for each of the 3 kinematic pairs is roughly 125 PAC hours, ~10 calendar days/pair
  • Minimize the number of NMR measurements to preserve target polarization
    • This generally means minimizing target direction changes, since each change usually imposes an 'as-is' NMR, and then a post-rotation NMR.
  • 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)
  • A1n 1-pass running notes

 Elastic Run Summaries from A1n period: SHMS, HMS
  • 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) [2]
 - 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

Run Types for 1-pass

  • Pressure curves (~ 6 hours)
 - Record ref cell pressure before and after each run!
 - He3       : 8,  4,  2,  1,  0.5 atm  (20 min/run) -- 2 hours + overhead
 - Nitrogen  : 8,  4,  2,  1,  0.5 atm  (20 min/run) -- 2 hours + 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
