Ideas for More Running at 6 GeV

From PrimExWiki

At the September 14 2007 weekly meeting Ashot proposed that we start a web page to collect ideas for more running at 6 GeV. These could serve as themes for a proposal for more running. This is a start at that page. Please add your ideas below. For now we should not worry much about the format or organization; this will likely look pretty chaotic at first. It is more important to get everything down in one place.

Original List

Mark's Items

These should get incorporated in some master list at a later date, but off the top of my head...

  • Running efficiency
    • Better plan for commissioning
    • Better software preparation for the calibration scheme
  • Run plan improvements
    • More than two snake scan runs
    • Plan for regular Compton and pair production running
  • Other targets
    • Tin(?)
    • Beryllium(?)
  • Compton improvements
    • More frequent clock triggers (Aram from last Fri. meeting)
    • Thinner target (Eugene from last Fri. meeting)
  • Pair production improvements(?)
  • Flux monitoring improvements(?)
  • Measurements to quantify accidental backgrounds(?)
  • Study of trigger with no MOR
  • Measurements at higher π0 angle to characterize nuclear backgrounds (run with smaller target to hycal distance).
  • Measurement of ω and ρ backgrounds(?)
