Run Plan 2012-03-22

We will be running from Friday 23rd to Monday 26th of March with an option to extend to Tuesday 27th if there is a problem (e.g. ISIS down)

  • There will be no KL, TOF2, or decay solenoid during the run
  • We will have the following aims (and responsible person):
    • Test state machines and run control sequence - Hanlet
    • Test GRID/offline batch job - Rogers
    • Test cerenkov monitoring - Kafka/Cremaldi
    • Verify beam timing vs RF pulse - Overton
    • Test online monitoring visible through micewww - Rogers
    • D1 Scan - Rogers
    • (If time) - target tests - Overton/Smith

I plan initially about 4 hours for each activity. Given 2 hours to run up and down each shift, that means 4*8 hour shifts. Probably some things may be able to piggyback on other things and we can run for more than 8 hour shifts - but everything takes longer than we expect.

We will have a planning meeting on 22nd March at 14.00-15.00 UK time in the Norton Room. Aim is to just go through the run plan and answer any questions.

Operations Issues

Jobs to do before the run starts

  • Paperwork (ATWs) <--- Done (Blackmore)
  • get cranes moved to W end of Hall (away from ISIS) <-- will be done Thursday morning (Blackmore)
  • Check PPS doors/BOBs OK -- Craig will be around Thursday afternoon to help with any PPS snags (Blackmore)
  • the phone seems to have disappeared from the desk by the DSA entrance <--- The phone is plugged in close to the DSA door, near the Linde fridge. As there are no free plug sockets on the desk by the DSA entrance, I assume that this is where it's meant to be. I think it used to live closer to the hall entrance. Given the lack of "Phone Here!" signs in the hall, they're always going to be difficult to find. (Blackmore)
  • Erect temporary fencing along Q789 and across gap by sliding floors <--- will be done Thursday morning (Blackmore)
  • Beamline polarity is currently -ve - probably want that changed for rate <----- Done on 21/03/12 (Blackmore)
  • Locate latest run summary spreadsheet - should have the DS inversion runs in it <--- Found 22/03, luckily it was on Henry's laptop...
  • turn SY527 HV supply on
  • make sure DAQ works (e.g. takes cosmic data) and is in a sensible configuration (selection of spill gate/trigger condition/event buffer etc.)
  • Check/fix MICERAID (see #945, #951 )
