All additional four Cernox temperature sensors give reasonable readings using the ITC502 controllers. The gas handling system sits in the EEL almost completed and pressure tested. Routines have to be added for the additional ITC502s for the GUI and for read-out of the gas panel status. It is not planned to operate the gas compressor remotely from the counting house. The safety documents are to be prepared.
Gas handling operating procedures have to be developed.
Michael has to contact the cryogenic group on the status of switching between the 4K and 15K cryogen. He also showed the table of planned kinematics and pointed out that we need a detailed run plan which includes not only the times needed for physics settings but also for optics, normalization, beam energy and current, spectrometer angle and field setting etc. Also spectrometer pointing was discussed. It requires removal of the radiator. On the energy measurement Arun reported that the ep system still does not work at low beam energies.
