Target Readiness

• Spot size changed and spin up measurements conducted last night. Not much of a difference in terms of the polarization. Still not satisfactory! Perhaps the phase difference isn't calculated correctly? Need additional insights to debug this problem.
• Raytum people are here and they will look into polishing the transverse laser fiber and also the EPR fiber bundle cable.

Remaining work:

• NMR legs have been machined and are ready to be installed. 2 BNC cables need to be made and attached to these coils.

Current Run Plan

• Tuesday: Do polarization measurements in the transverse direction. If there is a difference between transverse and longitudinal measurements, then the compensation lenses might be the issue? If not the laser polarization? Continue brainstorming..
• Wednesday: Do spin up measurements after the fibers are repaired and installed. Check target ladder alignment.
• Thursday (?): Close up the enclosure. Start taking 1-pass data for two days with the same settings as in December.

Notices in Effect for Shift Crew

• Policy for CANS-related hall status change: Make a logbook entry when the hall goes in, or comes out of laser-controlled access.
  • Good examples for entering and leaving laser access.
• Magnet policies
  • HMS Q1 must be ramped down in 50A steps in all cases
  • Do not ramp HMS Q2 to zero, only go to 10A and then switch off power.
• Inform the RC of any access that the Target Team requires. The RC will coordinate with RadCon to make everything run smoothly.
• The operators have been somewhat careful with our beam orbit locks. Please make sure that the orbit locks are enabled and the beam does not drift from its nominal position.
• Ramp rate lock instructions are here and added to checklist[1]
• Temporary Laser instructions can be found here [2]

Current Issues

• Polarimetry debugging in progress

Special Requests

• Keep target expert schedule filled out on whiteboard
