Run Plan¶
Please help keep this list complete and up to date.
Known alarms¶
It is ok to ignore the following alarms in Synoptic:
- MuRS 12 Voltage: This PMT is intentionally turned off off until the paddles are replaced.
Upcoming beam-off periods¶
- Next LAr delivery : Wednesday 2015.06.24 7:30 am. Open access and gate re-closure will be arranged.
- Measure muon range stack thicknesses and confirm placement of small versus large cosmic paddles
- 2015.06.17 6am Roughly one day -- Check with MCR. Down for Booster RF Cavity replacement:
- 2015.06.18 7am - 9am and briefly at 11am -- Preparation in Switchyard for Main Injector Beam-On study

Beamless Priorities¶
Tasks¶
- Tangle-by-the-door:
Return cables to FTBF.Render unto PREP that which is PREP's.
Connect COW2 to ACNET. Same correction scheme needed for reported values?
Empty-event runs¶
to measure the RMS of the noise at each Gain & Filter setting.
Only one trigger pattern: on: PULSER. Take a 3-spill run at each setting combination and then ensure that the first spill appears shows Data Blocks from the V1740.
