Operations Summary¶

• Cycle 2017/02 starts on Sep 19 and goes to Oct 27
• Goals:
  • take data with LH2 absorber
  • take data with SSD M2 powered
• Broad brush run plan has been produced. Detail is now being filled in
• Experimental shifts are fully allocated
• BLOC shifts are not yet
• Training plan has been produced
• Start-up activities have begin
  • Yesterday we did a series of pulser runs to test detectors, RunControl, DAQ and monitoring
    • This went very well - the biggest problem is that the EMR could not be armed by the DAQ. This is
      an old problem, traceable to a readout board. Unfortunately we have no spares of this board. Francois is
      helping diagnose this problem today.
    • Tracker is being read out well, but we have many lost channels after the last warm-up. Melissa/Paul K are
      trying to see if we can live with this situation or if a channel reconfiguration can help. More next week.
    • Sep 14th : time allocated by ISIS during the machine physics run to do beam bump tuning and data-taking with beam. Caveat is that a lot of things are happening on the 14th so co-ordination and strict activity management will be critical to prevent the chaos.
