Physics shift procedure¶

Below is a routine procedure that physics shifters should go through in order to check status of datasets

If you need help with any of this, please contact Chris Rogers

Prerequisites¶

• You need to subscribe to the mice-ops mailing list (try looking on www.jiscmail.ac.uk)
• Any prerequisites as specified by the measurement coordinator

Procedure¶

1. Check the Elog
   • Check that the elog was updated with a shift report for the data taking period.
   • Check that you are satisfied with the level of reporting in the ELog
   • At a minimum, the ELog should have the list of runs taken during the data taking, the aim of each run and an indication of success.
   • Note any special circumstances described in the E-Log (e.g. failure of equipment, etc). If this can impact on the measurement, it needs to be reported
2. Check the output from the reconstruction for the relevant runs
   • http://reco.mice.rl.ac.uk/
   • Check that the data has been reconstructed okay
   • Check that the online reco plots look okay - compare, for example, with this output that is believed to be okay
3. Perform any analysis agreed in advance by the measurement coordinator or physics coordinator.
   • Fast turnaround reconstruction is available here
4. Upload the physics_shifter_proforma
   • link it to the table at Physics_shifts;
   • cross-link it to the operations meeting page
   • Proforma report is at physics_shifter_proforma
5. Attend operations meetings and give a verbal report
