RC Meeting Information
RC Daily Meetings are at 10 am, remote https://bluejeans.com/861439920
Accelerator Status
- Beyond usual trips and machine hiccups we have received beam fairly smoothly, even with the hall A beamline being set up over night
- Setup for Hall A will continue on 1pass for at least 2 days
- Their production data starts with 3pass so we will hear from them soon when they will want to do a pass change
Hall C Status
- The hall is hanging in there and experiment is in good shape
- So far we have collected approximately 760 pions in this configuration
- Good luck to Dave Gaskell in his double role as RC and spokesperson over the next week
Current Run Plan
- Continue data taking until early Nov
Current Issues
- Replace flow switches for magnets: next opportunistic access (Joe Beaufait) ( PENDING )
- The HB has seen some fluctuations in the LHe levels. At the next opportunistic access Heidi would like to investigate the cryo line. ( PENDING )
- Heidi believes this is related to a vacuum issue and the access is for diagnostic purposes only. Can be escorted during regular office hours (do not call her in at midnight for this)
- If indeed it proves to be the case the only remedy would be to warm up the magent and pump the region (which would be a multiple day operation)
- So far the PID loops have done their job and Heidi (together with the shift crew) are keeping a close eye on the LHe levels
- Water flow to the dump aperture needs to be replaced: needs 4+h and Steve Suhring believes that it can wait until the SAD ( PENDING )
- Target ladder camera was identified to be bad: Joe Beaufait will purchase a replacement in the next funding cycle ( PENDING )
- Still need to follow-up with Joe about when the purchase can be done.
