Detector Readiness Checklist (Cosmic Data Taking, 2018)

1)           Once Per Day

A)     Reboot bdb.starp.bnl.gov (see section 3 in slow controls manual)
B)     Noise run for TOF/MTD pedAsPhys_tcd_only with TRG+DAQ+TOF+MTD (4M events, takes about 5-6 minutes)
C)     EPD IV scan (can be in parallel with cosmics, mark run in elog)

2)           Pedestals once per Shift

A)     Take pedestal_tcd_only with TRG+DAQ+TPX+ITPC+ETOW+TOF+ETOF+MTD+GMT+FCS (1 event, run control will issue additional events automatically)
B)     Take pedestal_rhicclock_clean with TRG+DAQ (1k events)

3)           Cosmic Data Taking

A)     Check detector states for cosmic data taking
B)     Take CosmicLocalClock with TRG+DAQ+TPX+ITPC+ETOW+TOF+ETOF+MTD+GMT+L4 (30 minutes)
C)     Laser runs every 4 hours (warm up in advance, 4k events)

 

Notes:

ETOF HV/FEE is still under expert control. In case the magnet needs to be ramped/trips, call experts!

Status of ETOF may change, check with outgoing shiftleader and elog!
