MOM Report October 9- Now Linda R. Coney UCR

October 15 th Running Target Target Beamline Magnets Beamline Magnets Detectors? Detectors? Could not turn on HV supply in hall off HV supply crashed Target DAQ Target DAQ DAQ? DAQ? Could not run w/o detectors on Was NOT working Caused major problem Saturday

October 18 th Running Dosimeter arrays: Single dosimeter mounted on the exit window of the decay solenoid; Array of dosimeters on the inside the DSA north wall; Array of dosimeters on the inside of the DSA west wall; Array of dosimeters on the upstream surface of the fixed radiation-shield wall.

Results: October 18 th Running Goal1: Study beam loss and particle rate as fxn of target dip depth Goal1: Study beam loss and particle rate as fxn of target dip depth Goal2: Install dosimeters in DSA and Hall Goal2: Install dosimeters in DSA and Hall 19:20 Target actuations start. Time Loss setting GVA1 GVA2 Counts 19: : : :58 3 (repeat) : : :

Issues: October 18 th Running DAQ not working when start running DAQ not working when start running GVA2 disconnected – GVA2 disconnected – had to debug/discover/reconnect/power up had to debug/discover/reconnect/power up Target delay adjustment – caused target dipping to stop Target delay adjustment – caused target dipping to stop Had to debug – 1.5 hr delay Had to debug – 1.5 hr delay

October 19 th Running Goal: Measure change in activation of synchrotron with MICE target operating at MS/128 and producing beam loss at the 200 mV level for a period of sixteen hours. Goal: Measure change in activation of synchrotron with MICE target operating at MS/128 and producing beam loss at the 200 mV level for a period of sixteen hours.
