CREX Main << August 2020 CREX Run Plan

WORK IN PROGRESS

1. Please don't worry if there is a needless test on here, or an important one missing, or bad prioritization.
2. Lets fix it

Optics and Q2

1. Energy Measurement (Doug) (non-invasive)
   • I think this is complete. I need to check with Doug.
2. Q2 measurement
   • Repeat of Q2 measurement, with improved pedestal noise control.
   • Detector counting mode.
   • S0 trigger
   • production raster and beam position

Backgrounds

1. Blinded Quartz
   • Longish access to setup and back out, but short data taking period (production conditions).
   • Reconfigure AT detectors to use blinding cap, attach to US PMTs.
   • This will be done during the long beam studies break on Monday
   • Integrating measurement for asymmetry measurement
   • Counting mode measurement for rate?
   • Can we make a plan for yield measurement? Maybe use absolute table top gain measurements?
2. Rescattering measurement (~1 shift)
   • Needs a detailed run plan
   • measure to low dp~15%. Integrating mode? May require bootstrap on detector gain?
   • should scale all spectrometer magnets (including septum)
   • Once the elastic peak is out of the focal plane, it may be possible turn on the S3 and S0 scintillator. This should be done when possible, and the T1/T2/T3 trigger rate recorded for each run.
3. Pole tip re-scattering
   • Requires investigation or planning - do we have an idea here?
   • Q2 or septum mis-tune, to increase interception on pole tip and improve poletip rescattering estimate

Detectors

1. Linearity Studies (PITA + current scans)
   • These are ongoing - should continue regularly. ~ 1 hour every 3 days.
   • Current scans for detector and BCM pedestals
2. Linearity LED tests
   • This will be studied post run, during SAD

Other

1. Sign check
   • perform at next Moller polarimeter measurement
   • run Moller, Compton, and parity DAQ for quick PITA scan
2. Target/Raster study

Moller polarimetry

1. One more measurement

Compton polarimetry

1. Flip DOCP???
2. No-target runs
3. Laser polarization optimization
4. Laser polarization flip
5. linearity studies
