PREX Main<< Information for Shift Takers << Shift Leader


Overview of Shift Tasks

  • Ask the expert (back room) if something is unclear.
  • Start / stop runs using the Parity DAQ (apar@adaq1). Keep runs <430 K events, about 1 hour.
  • Verify that Charge Asymmetry feedback is running. The data are practically useless if not.
  • Verify that Beam Modulation is running
  • Look at the Panguin ("online analyzer") plots
  • Analyze ("fast prompt") each run and review the prompt plots.

Beam Modulation

  • First, make sure Coda is running
  • You need to be logged in apar account on adqa3:
    •  ssh apar@adaq3 
  • Go to directory:
    •  cd /adaqfs/home/apar/vowen/BMWClient/PyGreenMonster/ 
  • Run beam modulation code:
    •  python3 ProductionModulation_Pause10Min.py 
    1. Beam modulation will automatically run for 7 days
    2. In order to quit beam modulation
      •  control+c 
        to crash out of the beam modulation program.
      •  python3 gm_bmw_clearall.py 
        to clean up the DAQ records and release the EPICS FFB pause states.
