Detailed Calibration plan

Beamline instrumentation calibration

1. Check the following has been performed
   • 50uA-70uA beam current, through Compton (backgrounds on fingers and Compton photon detector) with no target
   • Establish 4x4 raster. Insert lead target.
   • Set Detector and SAM voltages (Dustin M)

1. Check Conditions OK
   • collimator water
   • thermocouple temperatures
   • radiation monitors
   • ion chamber stability

1. Setup Locks (these are necessary for main detectors and SAM calibration)
   • Slow Target Lock on 4A, 4E (jmenu->"slow locks"-> Orbit Locks Expanded View -> HallATGT)
   • Fast feedback for HallA on (iocse9)
   • If beam is going through Compton, HallAComLock should probably be on
   • Should HallAMolLock be on?

1. Coordinate
   • Should Compton and Moller DAQ be running during calibration?
   • Dustin and Devi examining SAMs and Detectors with online analyzer during calibration
   • Juan Carlos/Amali/Adam monitor Compton background rates and run the DAQ?

1. Calibration Procedure A: with UNSER
   • start at 70uA for 1min (scandata1==value in BCM0l02)
   • beam off
   • wait for 5sec(for unser to equilibrate), take unser pedestal data point for 30sec (scandata1=0)
   • beam on at 75uA
   • check slow target lock is in position
   • check FFB on for HallA
   • check no bpms are saturated on iocse9
   • wait for 5sec(for unser to equilibrate), take next data point for 1min
   • repeat for 65uA,60uA,55uA,50uA,40uA,30uA,20uA,10uA

1. Calibration Procedure B: with pre-calibrated Hall BCM (analog upstream bcm)
   • start at 70uA for 1min (scandata1==value in BCM0l02)
2. change current to 75uA
   • check slow target lock is in position
   • check FFB on for HallA
   • check no bpms are saturated on iocse9
   • take next 1min data point
   • repeat for 65uA,60uA,55uA,50uA,40uA,30uA,20uA,10uA

1. Calibration Procedure C: for BPMs (Compton bpms not yet calibrated)
   • at 70uA, set gains off for iocse9,iocse10 (Hall) iocse11,iocse12,iocse19,iocinse4 (Inj)
   • rperform Calibration Procedure B with pre-calibrated Hall BCM
