Total 1:04 22:13 0:43


  1. Accelerator Status over the last 24 hrs
    • Accelerator busy with Hall C until 05:00
    • Hall D first given beam at 05:20
    • Data collection at 50nA started at 08:00
  2. Hall-D/GlueX items
    • In the last 24 hours:
      • Low-intensity production started at 08:00
      • Long mode run (10 minutes) done at
      • Current Total: 40.05B
  3. Issues
    • DAQ issues:
      • 5:42 - The DAQ keeps giving us "SEBO: Client has not reported for xx sec." errors, but then recovers after a minute. This happens every ~20mins or so. We will restart the DAQ again after the current run finishes.
      • ~22:00 - Monitoring stops working, have to start/stop runs several times to get events flowing through secondary ET
  4. Monitoring
    • low-level report
  5. Run Plan
    • Production
    • Triggers: In-time random? Min-bias? FCAL+BCAL+ST?
  6. Offline Analysis
    • TAC runs?

  1. Accelerator Status over the last 24 hrs
    • beam delivery was fairly good (55%) until late evening
    • south linac cold box tripped around 22:30, 4hr recovery estimated
    • recovery was progressing, but tripped again around 03:30
    • MCC estimates Saturday morning at earliest
  2. Progress with GlueX program in last 24 hours
    • Low-intensity production started at 10:00
      • 1e-4rl amorphous radiator @ 100uA : trigger rates
        • 7kHz physics triggers (BCAL + FCAL) : 200M collected
        • 11kHz minimum-bias triggers (TAGM * ST) : 330M collected
  3. Beam quality checks
  4. Data quality checks
  5. Record keeping quality
    • confusion about gas supply entries in shift checklist
    • "no" on to-do checklist items (EPICS screenshot logged)
  6. Special runs planned for next week
    • TAC run (8 hrs)
    • long mode (10 min.)
    • DAQ team wants to do some measurements (non-invasive)
    • level-3 tests
    • FDC HV test
  7. Monitoring
    • low-level report
  8. Run plan for over the weekend
    • Standard production with diamond/amo run sequence
  9. Offline Analysis
  10. Possible program at 5.5 GeV
    1. Straight tracks (solenoid off) 10h, 8h ramp down
    2. TAC measurements 8h
    3. FDC HV & threshold scan 2h
    4. DAQ high luminosity 4h
    5. 20µm Diamond alignment 8h+16h
    6. AC raster calibration 4h+4h
