1. Notes from the previous 24 hours:
   • TAC run (evening strip chart) was finished around 10pm. Took data with both the 750um and 75um converter.
   • Production started around 11 pm and has continued through the night.
2. Issues:
   • When adjusting a procedure, please contact the expert before doing so to make sure the changes you make are okay.
   • ~1hr 20 mins of DAQ issues while the target was filling and we could not run in raw mode.
   • PS scalers (Alexandre)

1. Reports:
   • Correlation between beam Y position and CDC HV current (Beni)
   • Attenuation lengths (Lubomir)
   • PS acceptance from TAC run with 1/3 of data (Sasha)
   • Low Level Monitoring Report (Thomas)
2. Run Plan
   • Pass change this morning
     • Short access to install copper and tungsten shields
     • Move muon chamber back into beam line
   • Production running
     • Harp scan when beam comes back
   • Fast raster scan postponed to Monday
   • Any more systematic studies we want to do?

1. Notes from the previous 24 hours:
   • No beam until 4pm
   • Finished materials scan at 5:35pm
   • Finished raw mode run
   • Bill broke the 7hr mark for ABU during his shift- first time a hall has done that this spring
   • Muon chamber installed with the steel bar
   • New radiator on GEM TRD
   • Shields installed on profiler
2. Issues:
   • Bill noticed some minor inconsistencies with monitoring plots (beta vs. p, beam energy, and trigger bit)
3. Reports:
   • Harp scan (Hovanes)
   • Materials scan (Lubomir)
   • Low level monitoring (Thomas)
4. Run Plan
   • Todd wants to try a low current lock on the active collimator at ~1pm
   • Trigger studies (~2hr)
   • Hovanes and Sasha need to test V wire and lock on active collimater (~10 minutes)
   • Production and switching to the thin diamond next week

1. AOB
   • Have Lubomir for opportunistic access to remove Cu and half of W shield- any others? Beam studies on Monday and RF recovery Tuesday
   • Run meeting this weekend?

1. Notes from the previous 48 hours:
   • Accelerator ran OK this weekend- downtime events every shift
   • Low current AC test delayed due to voltage adapter problem. Tentative postponement until Wednesday?

1. Issues:
   • Low yield of physics signals (Mark D.)
     • Larger variations in detector timing than normal (Sean)
     • Range of interesting timing features (Mark D.)
   • Newly inefficient PS channel (Dave)
   • Trouble putting rootspy histograms in logbook (Mark I.)
     • We will not tolerate identity theft
   • Transmission last night (Beni)
2. Reports
   • New preamp (and calibration) fixes noisy CDC channels (Naomi)
   • [1], [2] Figure of merit vs. virtual electron spot size (Justin)
   • Sunday's harp scan (Hovanes)
   • PS baselines adjusted (Sasha)
   • Low level monitoring (Thomas)
3. Run Plan
   • 8hr beam studies today
     • Controlled access to adjust shielding, replace AC voltage adapter, FCAL bases, and other technician work
   • Finish materials scan
   • Production this evening
   • RF recovery tomorrow
   • Best time to try to try the low current lock on the AC for the next TAC run? Tentatively postponed until Wed. before raster tests
     • Switch AC to 3.5 mm collimator
       • Take data through Thurs. with this setting: 150 nA, 75 micron converter, 0/90, AMO
