Saturday 12 June Owl
  • High Statistics Lead Inelastics, Qsq|GEM test, Calibration of the cavities with the amplifier
 all done
Saturday 12 June Day
  • Backgrounds: Dipole Scan, Transverse Polarization Measurements.
 Finished left dipole scan, right dipole scan is pending
Saturday 12 June Swing
  • Transverse Polarization Measurements. Carbon
Sunday 13 June Owl
  • Transverse Polarization Measurements. Lead
Sunday 13 June Day
  • Transverse Polarization Measurements. Lead

4494 32k (beam current stepping up, might not be good) 4495 78k 4496 73k 4497

Already took 580K multiplets, 60K of them may not be good data
Sunday 13 June Swing
  • If right Q2 fixed, take 100K more A_T data then go back to production. Otherwise go back to single arm production
Monday 14 June Owl
  • Continue Transverse Polarization Measurements. Blinded tube test
Monday 14 June Day
  • Production

Remaining auxiliary measurements

  • PREx det. current calibrations (Monday swing)
  • Finish dipole scan (Tuesday owl)
  • Oversampling by 2 at 120 Hz (put off/cancelled)
  • Beam induced linearity studies (put off/cancelled)
  • Q2 measurements (relative using T5 during dipole scan)
  • MOLLER commissioning (if can't do anything else - need repair? - see Jixie or Roman)
Monday 14 June Swing
  • Production
  • PREx det. current calibrations (Partially done)
  • large charge asymmetry run couldn't be done b/c MCC couldn't set RHWP to 2500 (see Rupesh' log entry)
Tuesday 15 June Owl
  • Production
  • Finish dipole scan (Done)
  • Modified dipole scan completed overnight (see Bob's entries 1 and 2)
Tuesday 15 June Day
  • Beam Studies

expected to deliver beam to Hall A - NO AUTOMATIC ACCESS

  • Production
  • large charge asymmetry run taken (see run 4574)
  • Beam was lost during beam studies after all
    • Megan and Alex went in to check on the Compton
    • Jixie and Roman did some work on the Moller, including a refill
    • Jack and Howard worked on the RHRS dipole which had issues
