Current Status

• Happy Brexit Day No Brexit Day
• Beam energy measurement was completed yesterday evening - https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3673350
• Unfortunately that's most of the good news out of the way for today
• Beam very trippy over night (https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3673504), MCC resolved this issue early this morning...
• BUT then there was a new issue, https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3673538
• Beam has been off since roughly 9am this morning due to this issue
• Beam coming back slowly at around 14:30, once it's stable enough and things look OK we'll begin data taking again

Current Run Plan

• We are currently running the dummy target for our first kinematic point at this beam energy, Q2 = 4.4, W = 2.74, low epsilon centre setting
• Once the dummy target is done (~ 1 hour) we will switch back to LH2 and run until tomorrow day shift (Unless the accelerator fairies are VERY kind to us tonight and we get incredible beam/stats through swing)
• After this, we switch to the left setting (SHMS moves to 13 degrees) for this kinematic point
• We'll then run at this point until approximately day shift on Sunday, after this it's onto the next kinematic point (where we'll be for quite a while!)
• This next setting has a very low SHMS angle (the lowest we can move to remotely), I will give an update on the timing of this as things become clearer over the weekend
• Whichever shift this ends up on will have to monitor the rotation very vigilantly as it is in progress

Notices in Effect for Shift Crew

• Please take a screenshot of the spectrometer angles when they are moved to a new position and make a log entry. If working on a kinematic that lasts several days take an image daily.
• Pay attention to the notices posted in the counting house regarding HMS Q1/Q2.
• If HMS interlocks when ramping, check the live camera image of the HMS power supplies for smoke/water before clearing the interlock.

Special Requests

• Alexandre had a short access earlier today during the downtime, he has requested another one early next week during the beam studies/RF recovery down periods.
