Monday Operations Meeting : 17/3/2015¶

Agenda:¶

• Review of previous run
• Actions from previous runs
  • Fence from Q9 down to main door should be in place
  • Cranes should be in right place
  • Method statement for operating beamline not followed

• Shift summaries
• Plan for beam tuning on Wednesday 17th : http://micewww.pp.rl.ac.uk/projects/operations/wiki/RunPlan20150318
• Plans for March 21/22 running
  • Data taking plans : http://micewww.pp.rl.ac.uk/projects/operations/wiki/RunPlan20150321
  • Training plans
  • Shifters
• Overview of readiness list from MDR1 and MDR2 : http://micewww.pp.rl.ac.uk/projects/operations/wiki/Operations_Readiness_To_Do_List
• Friday training plans
• Longer term plans
  • 21/22Mar15, 28/29Mar15: CKOV, TOF0, TOF1, no DS

    *Establish smooth operation from target to TOF1;
    *Carry out an initial calibration of TOF0 and TOF1;
    *Take data to allow a comparison of the performance of the old and new trigger systems;
    *Take pion-beam data to allow a first test of the reconstruction algorithms required for MICE Muon Beam commissioning;
    *Complete BLOC training on target tuning.

  • 11/12Apr15, 18/19Apr15 and 25/26Apr15: DS, CKOV,TOF0,TOF1, EMR, KL, TOF2 (& tracker?)

    *Check the TOF calibration. It will be important to take some data to be sure that the calibration is stable;
    *First pass of MICE Muon Beam (MMB) commissioning:
    *Start with the currents used in Step I to check the degree of reproducibility of particle rates;
    *Based on the revised simulation of the beam line (Jaroslaw Pasternak), start the search for the optimum magnet settings;
    *Commissioning and calibration of TOF2, KL and EMR will begin as soon as the south-side PRY is complete and the magnets and downstream
    detectors are in their final Step IV positions.

• AOB
  • Physics shifter will be Chris Rogers
  • Friday meeting in the MLCR with ISIS personnel

• Next meeting : 11 am Friday 20th March

Action Items¶

• Show Dean the latest plan for the Wednesday tuning procedure and get comments (Steve)
• Define BLOC cover (Henry/Ken/Steve)
• Organise a SOC phone (Steve)
• Check the progress of the action items from the Mock Data Runs with Pierrick and Rhys (Steve)
• Contact Elaine Lancaster regarding MICE/ISIS meeting on Friday (Ken)
• Check with Andy whether we need only one or a number of risk assessments and method statements for running (Steve)
