This run plan covers:

From : Owl shift Aug 21, 2001
Through: Eve shift Aug 21, 2001
Magnet configuration:
Toroid: Reverse
Solenoid: Reverse
There will be a EPICS Hardware Database tutorial at 10:00 am in DAB1. All subsystem liasons should attend.

Work that causes disruption in data taking during a store or will influence the DAQ at anytime needs to be scheduled ahead of time. Detector, online and trigger groups need to send needs and requests for special running conditions and work to d0runrequests@fnal.gov. The default running condition for a store, unless otherwise specified, is to run with all available readout crates in the global run. Captains are responsible for enforcing the run plans and resolving conflicts. Contact the Run or Commissioning Coordinators if there are unresolved questions.

Requests for access should be sent to d0accessrequests@fnal.gov.

Store 646 is colliding (23:20) with initial luminosity 4.2E30. The plan is to keep this in for the next two days.

Captains should keep a close eye on the trigger prescale rates and luminosity and radiation monitoring.

L3 VRC3c tests are mostly done and they are now running in monitoring mode mostly. The CAL crates can and should be used for normal data taking.

During normal data taking, attempts should be made to get the DAQ rate up above 6 Hz if possible. Report rates where instabilities occur.

SMT timing should be complete and they should join the global runs.

Check the Standing Instructions for updated instructions on running the magnets.

Access requests should be sent to d0accessrequests@fnal.gov.

The default trigger configuration file for collisions is still global_L1CalMuon-1.2.xml. This trigger file emphasizes muon triggers and some high Et jet and EM triggers. The rates should be kept in the range as indicated in the prescale file global_L1CalMuon-1.2-4e30_6Hz.prescales but should be tuned to a maximum data rate of about 6 Hz for now until we can get the data rate through the Level 3 VRCs up reliably. Attempts to go above this rate should be made. The prescale files is tuned expecting about 4E30 so will need to be tuned to achieve the desired rate. There is a lower luminosity trigger file also available (1E30).
Note that there is a shifter prescale file that shifters can edit so that rates do not have to be typed in after every reconfigure of the trigger. Pay special attention that the prescales and resulting trigger rates match the desired bandwidths specified in the trigger file.

DAQ Shifters should set prescales to maintain the desired data rates as specified in the trigger files. Captains should check to make sure the rates make sense and are within the desired ranges. Contact the Triggermeisters or the Commissioning Coordinators if there are problems.
