Important Note for Shift Workers

• [[1] stuff to do to return to JLab in the summer 2020]
• Monitor our friends on reduced shifter schedules in other halls: https://physdiv.jlab.org/CountingHouses/

Post separate HALOG entry for status changes/events

• Please fill out the Shift Checklist at the beginning of the shift
• Access arrangement should be done through the Run Coordinator
• Documentation of Online Plots
• Documentation of Strip Charts
• Documentation of all alarms
• Determining tasks and allocating responsibilities is up to the Shift Leader and shift crew to decide amongst themselves at the beginning of a shift

General Instructions for shift crew for parity running

• Check Parity data with Panguin
  • Run a panguin from the analysis minder GUI or from the command line with “panguin”
  • Also Check prior data to calibrate your expectations with “offline_panguin RUNNUMBER”
• Watch out for
  • ion chambers
  • collimator temps
  • detector voltages in pengui (usl 5.6 V usr 5.2 V at 70 uA)
  • BPM saturation
  • position locks for > 1 uA: BPMA (x=0.2; y=-0.5) BPME (x=0.2; y=-0.5)
  • raster : 12 by 7.2 in MCC units (width by height) raster synch/unsynced values in the white board outdated?
• make sure
  • Charge feedback is on
  • FFB ON (see FFB GUI: FF ON, FF DAC ON, EnergyModeRF ON)
  • BeamMod ON after beam is established (BPM gains set and stable and FFB ON)

Before your shift

• First!! Please read and sign the safety documentation in the counting house. A readable version can be found here!

• Second!! Please sign up for more shifts
