Meeting General Agenda

Run planning meetings:

Beam and Hall configuration

    • Diamond alignment (Hovanes)
    • ...
• Experiment: GlueX-II/JEF.
• Beam energy expected:

General Information

This document describes the run plan for the Hall D Spring 2025 run.

• Schedule for the run (see 2025 official schedule (draft)):

1. January TBD: Electron beam restoration.
2. January 24th - July 20th: 26 weeks for upgraded ECal commissioning and GlueX-II/JEF.  !! As of 11/20/24, one week delay expected !!

• Accelerator overall plan and priorities: Deliver physics beam to 4 halls

• Hall D plan summary:
  • Beam and detector check-out: 50 - 300 nA. ~ a day.
  • Commission of ECal (~ a month. 150 nA)
    • Opportunistic tests during possible pauses of ECAL Commissioning:
      • Diamond alignment (Hovanes, see below)
      • CDC HV scans (Beni, Naomi) Need compatible trigger
      • Lead glass HV scans (?who?)
      • Others?
  • Diamond alignment: Stable (no frequent trip) 20 nA without FSD for 2-3 shifts.
  • Experiment: GlueX-II/JEF E12-12-002
  • 2 TAC runs. ~nA or less. The bleedthrough should be small compare to it. 1 run just after ECAL Commissioning. Another near the end of the run.
  • High luminosity runs: up to 1 week at 650nA, and up to 1 day at 1 uA.
  • 2 empty target runs (300 nA). 1 run at the start of GlueX-II data taking. Another near the end of the run.
  • Straight track run: 2 shifts (50% efficiency: one shift of good data) (50 nA on 10^-4 R.L. radiator).
  • Opportunistic tests:
    • GEM-TRD test during ECAL Commissioning Positioned 3 to 6 o'clock in front of forward detectors, looking downstream.

Readiness for Spring 2025 run

Live Camera Feeds from the Four Counting Houses

1. These feeds SHOULD be open and visible at all times from one of the monitors in each of the counting houses. (currently this is not working; we should post instructions how to establish this connection. J.R.)
2. Management cautions AGAINST opening them from other locations or offsite, out of concern for available bandwidth.
