* Since the beam was not converging as desired we asked accelerator people to tune beam optics for Hall D. After beam tuning MCC did harp scan followed by our harp scans. The sigma u, sigma y and sigma x fits look like they are converging at collimator (https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4080101), though sigma u, sigma y from radiator harp scan are still outside of the preferred range. The plan for now is to monitor PSC rates (https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4080753).

*Wednesday when doing the cosmic raw run the FP pulser rate was set to 2kHz and forgot to reset it back to 100Hz afterwards. So we were running with 2kHz the whole time since. Now set back to 100Hz (Beni). -> Sasha said it wasn't a big problem since it didn't change deadtime
+
* SRF Vacuum issues, Hall B Solenoid PS Failure. No beam from 14:29-23:04.
*In general, beam conditions have been really poor. We continued taking data but made sure to mark some of the runs while ACC was troubleshooting problems with the injector.
+
* During owl shift DAQ event rate dropped because FADC250 in Slot 3 of the rocfcal4 crate was dead. Sergey disconnect FCALRoc4 from trigger to recover event rate to 17 kHz. Sasha replaced the FADC module in the morning (took around ~1h) and connected FCALRoc4 to the trigger. This wasn't critical for PrimEx since the this slot is at the edge of FCAL.
* Shift Crew reported:  Need to fill the alcohol bubblers.

Thursday, November 10

Past 24 hours

  • No beam for ~14 hours (5:15-19:30) due to beam tuning and cryomodule issues.
  • Did harp scan when the beam was back during swing shift https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4079511. The sigmas of u and y positions at radiator were somewhat larger and lie outside the preferred range, monitoring PS rates.
  • Took production data on Full LHe target. Since yesterday we collected 1.0 B events.

Shift Summary

Issues/Reports

  • No beam for ~14 hours due to beam tuning issues, followed by issues with some of the cryomodules.
  • After the beam was back it was mostly stable besides some FSD trips.

  • The change in beam energy distribution normalized to a previous run (110641) is also back to normal (https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4081449).

Since yesterday we collected 1 B events.
