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

h2. 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

* The main goal of this run is the commissioning of the new trigger system, which requires a calibration of the Time-of-flight system..

* We will take data with TOF0, TOF1 and Ckov. This means that we will use only one LDC (VME crate).

# We will start with a standalone readout of the TOF0/1 crate. This will be used for detecting eventual problems and debugging. The beam line will be set for Reference Run without Decay Solenoid.

# When we are satisfied with the quality of the data, we will switch to the original DAQ system and will take date for ~500 target pulses.

h2. TOF calibration

# The beam line will be set for  TOF Calibration run

# The goal will be to take 30 000 target pulse or more.
