Beam Test Shift Instructions
Beam Test Shift Instructions and Schedule
Few things to do when you're on shift.
- Enter run information into the logbook. Now that we use the new improved run log table, it is important to fill it out correctly. If you don't know something (like, what ram tables do we use), ask the specialist.
- Label your comments, if any, with date/time and your name.
- Print histos if needed, and label the plots with parameter values - high voltage, theta, phi, old/new electronics, on/off guard strip etc. Also please put on the statistics in bins of the plane multiplicity histogram - our effeciency monitor. On a Landau and noise panel watch FWHM of the selected strips (normal is about 6-7 ADC counts).
- Anode cards sometimes oscillate or latch themselves in high current mode. Oscillations are shut off by entering smaller DAC values (like, a 100 would be as safe as it gets). High current mode needs to be eliminated by flipping the DC power switch, then one needs to set thresholds to the desired 170-150, see logbook.
- Running at GIF imposes some more rules. Make sure you have GIF operation training before you work with the source on shift and have the source control room key. Very important: changing absorption coefficient with HV and DC power on requires hiding the source first, since splashes may occur while the filters change.
