Owl Shift, Sunday, August 25, 2002 leader Aram Sam Marianna/Eric 12:00 am: harp scan electron beam is broad in y direction no peak in photon beam profile called MCC to tune up the beam. 1:54 am: a pedistal run is done (run #738) 2:20 am: still tring to get good beam 3:20 am: gave up on tring to get good beam, will now try to plateau PS 3:45 am: finished plateauing PS started plateauing E-counters 5:00 am: stoped plateauing E-counters, plateauing software is not good Attempt dipole scan. Unable to get good coincidences with large background rates on PS counters. 6:25 am: still no good enough beam (the beam is too wide in y direction) 7:00 D.Lawrence - Went over to MCC to speak with operators about options for getting beam tuned. They said they would normally take beam away from the other halls to tune us in, but they were instructed not to do so at this time. They suggested we talk to the Hall-C people and the P.D. For now, we attempt to the gate timing. 7:07 E-counters were left at -2000V from attempt at plateauing them. Set all E-counters to -1850V. I don't know the procedure for setting them back to their nominal values. 7:14 MCC calls, they lost an RF separator and are calling in support. 8:00 E-counter scalers are not counting, Aram and Dave went down to the hall to check those, powercycled VME crate PS scalers came back but still no response from E-counter scalers. Hall left in controled access.
