h1. Target commissioning + CKOV HV scan - 28th/29th March 2015 h2. The purpose of the run is to: * Get the system to a state where ToF (and CKOV) Calibration data can be taken * Take some TOF calibration data h3.

Prerequisites "Run Preparation List":http://micewww.pp.rl.ac.uk/projects/operations/wiki/RunPreparationList h2. Data Requested h2. Beamline Configurations * N.B. Decay Solenoid will not be available. * We expect to be running with 2V beamloss and beam bump active. h3. Preparation * We will run beam into the hall so need to secure the MICE Hall * Target needs to be ready * BeamLine elements need to be ready * Detectors need to be ready * Controls needs to be ready * DAQ needs to be ready * OnMon and OnRec need to be ready * Data Mover needs to be ready h3. Shifter target training * at shift handover on Saturday - somewhere between 15:00-17:00 h2. DAQ testing * We will take data with TOF0, TOF1 and Ckov. This means that we will use only one LDC (VME crate). * The main goal of this run is the continue with the commissioning of the new trigger system, and to investigate the stability issue found last weekend. * We will start with the debugging of the the stability issue. This operation will require unspecified amount of time.

CKOV momentum scan run Reference Run without Decay Solenoid * We will do a momentum scan on the pion momentum. There should be enough statistics with only 2000 actuations each run. * To be carried out simultaneously with the debugging of the stability issue. | Number of pulses | Particle Species| p at Tgt | p@D1| p@D2|Proton p@D2| p@Tof0 |Proton Absorber | Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | D1| DS | D2| Q4 | Q5 | Q6 | Q7 | Q8 | Q9 | Similar Run(s)| | # | | MeV/c |MeV/c |MeV/c | MeV/c | mm | A| A| A| A| A| A| A| A | A | A | A | A| DAQ run #| | 2000 | pion| 300 |268.67|265.98| 272.42|268.67|265.98| 143.4| 29 | 57.8 | 105.6 | 64.6 | 202.8| ---| 100.4| 176.8 | 237.1| 157.2| 157.6| 238.5 | 203.7| 5729 | | 2000 | pion| 325 |321.5|319| 83 | 69.1 |126.3 |77.31 | 246| ---| 119.6| 212.4| 284.8 | 188.9 | 193.7| 293.2 |250.6| 5439 | | 2000 | pion| 350 |346.58 | 344.14 | 83 | 74.5 | 136.1 | 83.3| 267.7 | ---| 128.8| 229.2 | 307.4 | 204| 210.6 | 318.8 | 272.5 | 5444 | | 2000 | pion| 375 |371.6 | 369.2 | 83 | 79.8 | 146 | 89.4 | 290.4 | ---| 137.9| 246 | 330 | 218.9| 227.3 | 344.1 | 294.2 | 5442 | | 2000 | pion| 400 |396.7 | 394.3 | 83 | 85.2 | 155.8 | 95.4 | 314.3 | ---| 147.1| 262.8 | 352.5 | 233.9| 244 | 369.4 | 315.8 | 5440 | | 2000 | pion| 425 |421.7 | 419.36 | 83 | 90.55 | 165.6 | 101.38 | 339.36 | ---| 156.26| 279.61 | 374.97 | 248.84| 260.49 | 394.43 | 337.23 | 5437 | | h2. TOF calibration by using the old trigger system. * This calibration will be used for comparison New vs. Old Trigger * The goal will be to take 30 000 target pulse or more. * Trigger provided by the old Tr. system. # The beam line will be set for TOF Calibration run. h3.
