Hall A Gmp / DVCS Fall preparation

September 16th 2014Hall A meeting

Alexandre Camsonne

General

• Power outage at counting house last week• Slow progress for DAQ, Compton, Cryo …• Power should be stable in Hall• Computers powered up since Friday • Power back to counting house maybe next week

• Use new accelerator HALOG as defaulthttps://logbooks.jlab.org/book/halla

3

Left HRS

• Mostly commissionned in March• HV switched to Raspberry pi• Left to be done– Check buffering ( Alexandre , Kalyan )– Reorganize normalization scalers , helicity gated

( Bob, Kalyan )– Test EDTM ( Longwo, Kalyan , Barak )– How to / documentation

4

Beam line

• BCM– 1 MHz receiver– New receiver built

• Unser– Current source installed

• BPM– Commissionned in March

• ARC ?• HARPS ?

5

Polarimetry

• Helicity signals fed to TS ( Buddhini ) : need to be tested– Plan for 30 Hz in time

• Helicity scalers used to monitor charge asymmetry ( tweak by hand regularly for charge symmetry )

• Moller– Commissionned March– Sasha and Roman on site November 1st

6

Compton (Dave Gaskell)

• Cavity– Slow progress with outages– Laser and PPLN working– Will do alignment when power comes back

• Photon detector– CMU has lead tungstate, CsI in place for now– Photon vacuum tube manufactured

• Chicane– Electron detector chamber modified– Dipole chamber being leaked checked

7

Target

• Only scattering chamber installed• Target ladder

– 15 cm 3 inches Silviu cell– Standard 3 inches 15 cm and 4 cm– Optics– Solid target

• Wire target planned to be installed, march TOSP resubmitted

15 cm Silviu

4 cm LH2

15 cm LH2

4/15 cm Dummy

Optics

Solid

Run with 2 loops filled with H2

Use D2 tank for H2Right now it is MT

9

DVCS

• Stand in Hall• RG213 cabled and tested• 3 VME64X , 1 VME crate for trigger installed• TI installed and plug to TS• CPU on network, on shared directory and user

for DVCS• OSP submitted, waiting for feedback

10

Remaining task list GMp / HRS

• Wire target ( Meekins )• Test EDTM ( Longwo, Barack, Kalyan )• Migrate HV settings to rpi • Sieve slit ( Eric Christy )• Check buffering (Alexandre, Kalyan)• Check filesplitting(Alexandre, Kalyan)• Check replay warming message• Option : implement TDC window suppression

( Kalyan )

11

Remaining tasks list DVCS• Calorimeter 11 block repair /tests ( ODU end of this week )• Calorimeter stacking / cabling ( ODU, IPN : 3 days )• DVCS HRS trigger setup and timing ( Paul, Alex 1 week )• DVCS calorimeter cabling to electronics ( Paul, Camille, Mongi,

Norman 3 days )• Calorimeter readout ( Paul Norman Alex 3 days )• Deadtime / high rate tests ( Paul Norman Alex 1 day )• Display/decode DVCS detector ( Carlos 1 day )• EPICS / HV check ( Kijun 1 day)

• Most work in parallel : plan to be done by end of the month

12

Conclusion

• GMp mostly ready– Need check UNSER, wire target, EDTM

• DVCS installation in progress – Electronics /trigger setup– Block repairs – Calorimeter stacking– should be ready by end of the month
