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

1. • 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
2. Monitoring
   • low-level report
3. Run Plan
   • Production
   • Triggers: In-time random? Min-bias? FCAL+BCAL+ST?
4. Offline Analysis
   • TAC runs?
5. AOB

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
   • analysis of harp scans
   • MO drift measurements
   • beam stability
4. Data quality checks
   • monitoring plots now showing up reliably
   • now running fADC250 in compressed mode
   • new "enhancement" in TAGH occupancy
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
    7. L1 high intensity test 8h
    8. L3 high intensity test 4h
    9. TOF new base test 2h (or parasitic with other measurements)
11. AOB
