Run readiness discussion¶

To set the scene :

Today is the 6th Feb.
Saturday 11th : Expert led run
Wednesday week (15th) : Start data-taking

• Colin's Shutdown List : Hot off the press : Winter-Shutdown-_2716Tasks17-02-06.docx

• Hall Infrastructure
  • Water : We think it's OK
  • Power : Fine
  • PPS : Fine
  • Compressed air : Need to check with John on this issue. Critical to check.
• Target and Beamline
  • Target and Target control PC : Target is fine - at risk until the PC is ready.
  • Diffuser : Needs to be checked and contingency put in place
  • Proton absorber : Henry gave it a good battering. Problem was a dodgy electrical connection.
  • Conventional magnets : OK.
  • Decay solenoid : Tucker claims it's ready to be powered. Get Mark to do it this week. Depends on compressed air -> need compressed air alarms in ALH.
• SS Magnets and Focus coil : Magnets are ready for action.
  • Double check parameters for tags and make a new tag. Durga/Josef check tag creation script numbers and add currents for 2016-05-1 untrimmed unsettings.
• Detectors
  • Trackers : HW mosty fine. Have ongoing issue concerning cooling performance. Some of the AFEs are running a bit hotter - regulation threshold has been increased.
    Confusion in the last running when to do the tracker calibration daily <- MOM needs to remind shifters of this.
  • Hall probes
  • EMR
  • KL/CKOV
  • TOFs
• Online systems
  • Online computing : General environment OK. Network isolation will be tested on Saturday.
  • DAQ : IOC for DAQmon got moved and buggered things. Hall probes are another dependency that the DAQ has. Needs to be fixed now.
  • OnMon : works fine.
  • OnRec : was running. Needs start/stop documentation.
  • C&M inc. ALH
    • Lots of spurious alarms which we need to look at.
    • Will try to run from Pro - State machines need to be tested system-by-system.
    • Stagegate for discussion on ALH is Friday morning @ 11 am.
    • Saturday afternoon for expert led run.
• Operations
  • Status of shifters and magnet monitors
  • Spares list
  • Online experts
  • Shift checklist
  • Magnet monitoring checklist
• AOB
  • Environment spreadsheet should be implemented
  • ISIS variables - check on Saturday
  • Micestore space ALH - check on Saturday
  • Update checklist
