June 22nd, 2015 (Evening Run)¶

Aim: Timing studies with downstream tracker, high/low momentum pion beams for tracker alignment

Daily schedule¶

June	23rd
Time	10pm - 6am

SOC	J. Nugent
Experimenter
Physics Shifter	P. Franchini
Beam?	Yes
Additional Personnel

Shift Monitoring¶

Shifters should keep a careful eye on:

• Water chiller temperature outside the control room (bottom of the red LEDs). If this reaches 25C, immediately power down the magnets and inform the MOM.
• Magnet water temperatures.
  • Log any abnormal changes in the eLog
  • If yellow temperature alarm sounds, immediately power down the magnets and inform the MOM.
• Magnet water flows.
  • Log any abnormal changes in the eLog
  • If yellow alarm sounds, immediately power down the magnets and inform the MOM.
• EMR stopping the DAQ arming
  • Power cycle the VME crate by following the instructions here

Shift plan:¶

• Post Daily Meeting
  • BLOC training at MLCR will prepare the Hall for running tonight
• 9:30pm
  • Shifters and BLOC arrive to complete Hall preparation (i.e. target prep)
• 10pm
  • Start tracking timing studies under direction of Ed & Melissa using a Pion Reference Beam (in Run Control)
  • When complete, take 50k triggers (at TOF2) of the 190 MeV pion beam (settings below)
  • When complete, take minimum 50k triggers (at TOF2) of the 290 MeV pion beam, i.e. remainder of shift (settings below)

• Check that POMPOMs read magnet polarity correctly for input to CDB
• Photograph/Screenshot Run Summary at end of run for comparison to CDB (see screenshot attached to https://micewww.pp.rl.ac.uk/elog/MICE+Log/3223)
• Write more verbose eLogs, describe the problem, its symptoms and solution (if known).

Data Requested¶

• Pion reference beam for timing studies (settings are in Run Control)
• 50k TOF2 triggers of 190 MeV pion beam, and the remainder of shift on the 290 MeV pion beam.

Beamline Configuration¶

• We expect to run with 2V beamloss and the beam bump active.
• DS is off
• Beam settings via Run Control and as given below
