## October 18th Running

**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 18th Running

- Goal1: Study beam loss and particle rate as fxn of target dip depth
- Goal2: Install dosimeters in DSA and Hall

- 19:20 Target actuations start.
- Time   Loss setting     GVA1  GVA2   Counts

## Issues: October 18th Running

**DAQ not working when start running**
**GVA2 disconnected –**
- had to debug/discover/reconnect/power up
**Target delay adjustment – caused target dipping to stop**
- Had to debug – 1.5 hr delay

## 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.
Dosimeter arrays installed
“Pre-run” rad survey done
Turned on magnets, target, detectors, target DAQ, DAQ

## Results: October 19th Running

- New Target DAQ info
- ISIS beam intensity, Total Beam Loss
- Sector 7, Sector 8

## Results: October 19th Running

- New Target DAQ info
- ISIS beam intensity, Total Beam Loss
- Sector 7, Sector 8

## Results: October 19th Running

**NO issues getting started/running!!**
- Startup ~ 1 hour
- Took data all day – 14 hours
- Many shifters
- Detectors and DAQ running
- scanned beam momentum in steps of 20 MeV/c from 100 MeV/c – 400 MeV/c
- 19, 658 target actuations

## General ToDo List

- ELOG running and being used*
- Install dosimeter arrays in/around DSA and hall – done, will stay until user run begins
- Establish routine monitoring points in hall with Charlie East – pending
- Need local time server in MLCR – JSG
- Need dedicated Windows machine in MLCR in order to change target delay – KL sorted out
- Target DAQ integrated into DAQ – pending

## General ToDo List Cont’d

- Decay Solenoid Fridge – Linde worked on fridge to fix recent problems
- fit the pressure reducer and clean the gas after the blockage experienced in the last cool down
- May still be leak - investigating
- North wall finished by Nov 14
- Dust/dirt in hall on/near power supplies still an issue
- need professional cleaning
- PPS – installing yellow cage doors next to MLCR, mezzanines

## Shutdown ToDo List

**Shutdown ToDo List**

**Open up Decay Solenoid and install more diagnostics - done**
**Fix Q4,**** ****Q5****, ****Q6 water leaks - done**
**Moveable beam stop in place/test – done & working**
**Concrete floor block started – ****finished**
**FNAL beam monitors**** **
**Small one rebuilt, noise problem fixed,          reinstalled behind DS, and running**** **
**almost done**
**Large one - pending**
**Reinstall GVA1, GVA2 – done**
**Recover from power outage – done**
**Commissioning runs on CKOV – ongoing (Dan?)**

## Documentation

**Need for standard procedural *****and***** for troubleshooting**
**Target**
**Beamline magnets**
**Decay solenoid/fridge**
**Detectors**
**Target DAQ**
**DAQ**
**ELOG - works**

## Other Useful Changes

- Phones in MICE corral in R76 dial internationally
- New MICE visitors webpage
- Maps, instructions for first visit, safety training information, travel and transport info, local restaurant and lodging info
- Shipped 6 VLSB, 7 AFEIIt spare boards to FNAL (Terry comment)
- New MICE digital camera
- Facilitate trouble shooting/documentation/recording actions
- Start overall contact list **
- MICE van ***CAN*** be parked overnight at Cosener’s House
- Have established procedure for obtaining permission to drive van
- Must be more formal than previously thought

## Future Commissioning Needs

**Standardize MOM handoff**
**Wrote document for transition from my term to Dan**
**MOM handoff information**
**Hall search and secure procedure**
**Daily walkthrough procedure**
**Prepare for running procedure**
**ToDo list as of end of current MOM term**
**List of contact people for ongoing, high priority projects**
**Should be edited/added to as needed**
**Documentation**
**MUST document everything given few experts and many shifters**
**MUST use/read ELOG Exercise equipment regularly – whether taking beam data or not**

## Future Commissioning Needs

**Exercise equipment regularly – whether taking beam data or not**
**Formalize run training like safety training?**
**“****certified” to turn on magnets, dip target, run DAQ**
**Review previous run periods **
**How improve efficiency & productivity**
**What went wrong – how avoid next time**
**Like M&M for med school (morbidity & mortality)**
**Run review panel?**
