During this week 13, we collected 16.5B triggers for the Full target cycle and 1.8B triggers for the Empty target cycle. This week was smooth with only minor issues related to lost of communication issues. The usual FCAL bases lockup happened roughly once per run when the Target is FULL and once per shift when the target is EMPTY. We were also unable to control the TAGH HV crate but we were able to run as is for 2 days until there was a beam downtime to reboot the crate. This already happened two weeks ago. We lost in total ~5h of beam time during this week mostly due to a DAQ crash that took 2 hours to solve, a much longer time interval between two runs to re-establish communication with FCAL base(s) lockup, and a faulty alarm switch in one of Tagger Hall door. When an FCAL base is lockup, the RC is immediately notified by an automatic email thanks to a script written by Malte.
