- Once the target cool down started and D. Meekins gives "Go", start ramping up HRS magnets
- Start with all detector HVs off
Beam Restoration
- establish tune beam and low current CW beam in the hall.
- Establish beam to dump
- Design match to hall expected as part of original configuration
- Verify spot size at the target from harp trace
- Before the ion chamber calibration, check target alignment (low current, take spot runs)
- ion chamber calibration to 30uA on Ca40, Carbon, Pb (anything else?). Set beam to the collimator center
- Ramp current slowly to 150uA on Ca40, check if the trip point makes sense
- this involves target burn-off
- If Yves is available, tune beam through Compton chicane
- Do PQB check when we have beam in the hall
Low current checkout
- Target verification
- Verify cold target positions and raster size
- Carbon hole, 1-2uA, 2x2 raster, turn ON S0 HVs, BPM A and E (x=, y=)
- Take spot runs, verify the hole and raster size (Carbon hole radius :2mm)
- If don't find the carbon hole, adjust BPM positions and raster size
- Move to Ca40, 2x2 raster, take spot runs.
Verify nothing hitting edges, uniform distribution from spot runs
- Move to Ca48, 2x2 raster
- Q2 measurement
High current checkout
- Ca Target burn-off
