MOM gives introduction to Shifter Training presentation to trainee¶
- slides are located on MOM laptop

- Online Monitoring
- Online Reconstruction
- Datamover
- Documentation
- Computing info
Each trainee fills out a "Shifter Training Practical lessons" form as training proceeds - form found on MOM laptop¶
- requires signature of qualified trainer and date training completed to trainers satisfaction
- MOM keeps track of these forms in the relevant binder
People qualified to train new shifters:¶
- PPS - Macwaters, Coney, Blackmore, Nebrensky
- Target - Smith, Overton, any BLOC
- Decay Solenoid & beam line - any BLOC
- Beam stop - any BLOC, Lead Shifter
- C&M - Hanlet, Coney, Taylor, probably Lead Shifter
- DAQ - Karadzhov, Adey, Lead Shifter, Coney
- Online Monitoring - Karadzhov, Coney, Gardener - work in progress as of Dec 2012
- Online Reconstruction - Rogers, Coney, Rajaram
- Datamover - trained shifter, Nebrensky
- Documentation - trained shifter, Coney
- Computing info - trained shifter, Coney
After shifter trainee completes practical training, MOM gives shifter practical test - slide(s) with questions on MOM laptop¶
- This test is meant to be a discussion between the MOM (or suitably trained individual) and the shifter trainee. It is an interactive process whereby the MOM asks the shifter questions - they answer at least in part by doing what they would do in the given situation. Or, in the event that doing so would interfere with active running, the shifter trainee explains in some detail what they would do in that situation. Rather than a pass/fail test, this is meant really to complete the training and make the shifter aware of situations that they will encounter and to make sure that they know how to address them.
MICE Collaborator Shifter Training Status¶
Note: Lead Shifters may also act as the secondary shifter.
New personnel are welcome but must go through the training procedure before taking shifts. A minimum of 3 shifts is required in order for a shifter to become qualified as a Lead Shifter.
