Roles: DAQ - Someone to take the lead on DAQ activities, should be familiar with control room
Calibration - Someone familiar with the trackers
- Pre cool down (9th August, 7 days):
- Fix cryostat leaks
- Cool down (Alan Bross, Craig Macwaters) 16th August, 3 days
- Inventory dead channels (21st August) (Uchida, Overton(consult))
*Take DAQ run (DAQ), 2 Days: (Uchida, Dobbs, Overton(consult))- Note: Need to verify ISIS-1RF is being sent to control room, at present it is not.
- Ed will pursue this with DAQ person.
- Note 2: Things will probably be broken and need fixing.
- Inventory Dead channels from run 1 Day. (Calibration).
- Decide if Waveguide optimisation is needed: (Calibration), possibly +4 days.
- If needed:
- Decide on waveguide optimisations (Calibration) 2 hours
- Move waveguides (Geoff Barber, Melissa Uchida, Craig Macwaters) 2 Days
- Regenerate mapping 1 Day NB. Hand over Heidts mapping script.
- If needed:
- Pulser run for all Detectors basic checks (DAQ) (23rd August): (MOM, Uchida, Rajaram(remote), Overton(remote))
- Check all HV supplies are outputting HV to PMTs
- Start the DAQ using run control in 'Pulser' Trigger
- Check the DAQ logs to check:
- All detectors are reading out
- No Errors exist in the configuration
- Perform main calibration (Calibration) - 30th August (3 Days) (Uchida, Overton(consult))
- Note: If WG mapping is changed, the changes must be included during calibration, otherwise channels will be erroneously safely ignored by the calibration process.
- Take DAQ run - 2 Hours
- auto-process calibration - 1 Day (processing time)
- Review and correct mis-calibrated channels - 2 Days (human time)
- Upload calibration to CDB - 2 Hours.
- Note: This process should ideally be done just before running, I recommend a first pass to get used to the process, and a second pass around the expert run.
- [BEAM] Verfiy Calibration/Mapping/Timing - TBD September (MOM, Rajaram, Uchida)
- Verify Timing (DAQ) - 2 hours (+2 hours if correction needed).
- Verify calibration (Calibration) & Mapping:
- check kuno sum
***check light yields per channel - look at general plane plots
- check kuno sum
- [BEAM] All Detectors (DAQ) - TBD September (MOM, Rajaram)
- Start a run with run control, Trigger TOF1.
- Repeat 3b.3
- Check online reconstruction for each detecor in turn.
- TODO Now:
- Chase ISIS about ISIS-1RF with 'DAQ' person. (Overton)
- General notes:
- Need Documentation on calibration procedure and how-to guide for manual checks, refits etc
- Need Documentation, trouble shooting guide/ cheat sheets
- In job list, identify if some “training” can be done remotely e.g. getting people familiar with readout code, calibration code, verification procedures
