RC Summary
Wednesday, 17 Mar. swing
through
Thursday, 18 Mar. day
- Recovered from a major SMS crash, took some data.
- IHWP is OUT.
- LH2 target parity quality
- 1.4 hours of good data for this 24 hr period (runs
20659-20688) out of 10 hours on tape.
- Overall efficiency: 5.8% (1.4/24) (bad...blame it on the
SMS)
- Beam (no trip) efficiency: 50.0% (1.8/3.6) [Probably
reflects the gain calibration---low current.]
- Parity efficiency: 77.8% (1.4/1.8)
- Total parity hours: 15.1 (runs 20584-20688)
- Overall IN/OUT charge ratio: 0.0
- N.B. Jeff Martin resumes as run
coordinator on the 20th; Damon Spayde takes up the sacred cell
phone on the 22nd.
Achievements and events
Production running at 40 ľA and running with 6 mm halo
target.
Energy
measurement (log entry #79464).
SMS fastdump and power supply problems. Read the
highlights (log entry #79551).
Plans
- Primarily LH2 production running.
- We should do a BCM/BPM/LUMI calibration
- We will stop at roughly 9:00 AM every day for 1/2 hour to
perform Chow's
fOps test plan until further notice.
- The next polarization sequence (Moller measurement, followed by
IHWP reversal (to OUT), followed by another Moller measurement,
and then a RIP scan) will take place, on Friday, March 19th.
Concerns and Their Resolution
- Det 13, 14, octant 4 and 8 show width = 1.2 * statistical.
Jacques Arvieux and Christophe Furget are investigating. Possible
resolutions: cable wiggling, cable fixing, DMCH replacement (they
- Spikes in the French timing spectra appear from time to
time. Under investigation by Jacques Arvieux
- Preparations for transverse running are not yet finished.
