Instructions for monitoring and analysis during shift

Instructions for CT Experiment (E12-06-107)

---

1. Keep an eye on the Hall C Scaler Data GUI and make sure the rates with beam ON are steady

2. In the middle of the run

  for SHMS detector check: ./run_coin_shms.sh <run_number>

  for HMS detector check: ./run_coin_hms.sh <run_number>

---

3. After full run, check the Good events and Update the file on Google docs

a. Login to cdaql1 machine 

b. Update the file " standard.Kinematics " : usually opened in HIGH VOLTAGE Monitor (HCDESK 2 )

  path : 
/net/cdaqfs/home/cdaq/hallc-online/hallc_replay/DBASE/COIN/STD/standard.kinematics

c. Analyze the run with :

 ./hcana -q "SCRIPTS/COIN/PRODUCTION/replay_production_coin_hElec_pProt.C(<run number>,-1)"  

d. Run the script
  ./run_beancounter.sh <run_number> <target>
   <target> = h or c

  This will spit out the number of good events in the run and two pages of histograms

  Update the counts in the file  [on Google docs] and on the whiteboard

 Compare with golden histograms found at : 
 [CT analysis page]

e. Run the script
  ./run_coin_monitor.sh <run_number> <target>
   <target> = h, c, or d for hydrogen, carbon, or dummy

   This will update a database (SCRIPTS/COIN/MONITOR/coin_monitor.root) that keeps track of
   PS6 live time, yield, PID&tracking efficiency, and 3/4 trigger efficiency for each run.
   Plots of these quantities will pop up, and you should make sure that they have not fluctuated.
