Tuesday February 21
Past 24 hours
- BCM Calibration executed. MCC decided no recalibration was needed.
- Production runs resumed after beam came back.
Shift Reports
Reports
- Hall D NMR Meter - Installed (Scot)
- MCC stopped beam delivery after NMR IOC communication loss (just a monitor device) was detected.
- (In RC meeting) They say they are not expert in Hall equipment and they will stop the beam delivery when whatever crew chief does not know happens.
- BCM calibration
- MCC called shift crews to ask what the maximum calibration current should be.
- (In RC meeting) They say this is on us (Hall D), so we should prepare this value beforehand in the future BCM calibration work.
- Harp scan after BCM work
- Harp scan after the long midnight downtime
- BCAL ISEG modules swapped during a long downtime (Mark)
- Took BCAL cosmic run (R120783 and more) during the calibration work (and during midnight downtime).
- Early-riser shift leader felt unwell and Keigo (RC) took over. We need a volunteer for tomorrow morning shift.
- Statistics balance
- PARA 0/90: 21.0%
- PERP 0/90: 20.5%
- PARA 45/135: 21.4%
