DØ Current Daily Run Plan

The Run Plan can be found at http://www-d0.fnal.gov/runcoor/runplans/runplan.html

The Run Plan Standard Instructions can be found at

This run plan covers:

From : Day shift Aug 29, 2001
Through: Night shift Aug 31, 2001
Current Magnet configuration:
Toroid: Forward
Solenoid: Reverse

Detector, online and trigger groups need to send needs and requests for special running conditions and work to d0runrequests@fnal.gov

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

Special Runs

  • L3 hardware VRC3 tests are still ongoing on both MCH2 and MCH3. They get priority over most other tasks.
  • Amber will run special tests of the L3 filter code during the Owl Shift.

    • Status and Plans

    The most recent store died on a quench. The complex is having difficulties coming back up. Any new store is expected to remain until Friday morning. BD will perform alpha* measurements at D0 with the collimators out at the end of this store. We must retract the roman pots, and ramp down the High Voltage on the SMT, Muon, and FPD systems. The Luminosity system must be working for these BD studies. LEAVE THE LUMINOSITY HV ON (70%). Power down the magnets once these studies are complete in preparation for SMT/CFT cooling studies.

    The default trigger configuration file for collisions is now global_L1CalMuon-1.4.xml. This trigger configuration emphasizes muon triggers and some high Et jet and EM triggers and includes di-muon and di-em triggers. 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.
    Shifters should take note of the following for each trigger: 

       Trig Name    Fired rate   AND/OR rate    Prescale
    (a snapshot can be generated by import daqmon.ps or import daqmon.jpg then click on the DAQ monitor page and save the postscript file and then print it flpr -q dab1_hp8000 or use JPEG to put into the logbook).

    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.
