This run plan covers:

Through: EVE shift Dec 3, 2001

Toroid: On Forward

Solenoid: On Reverse

Current Situation and Plans

The Beams Division is planning to stack and store for the next few days. No planned accesses unless there are problems with the machines. The main task of the shift crew is to collect data in stable runs. Maximum input rate into Level 3 will be dictated by stable running; the Trigger Mesiters will help determine this at the beginning of stores. By default, all crates should be included in global runs unless experts have removed them. Experts should be contacted if there are problems with any of the readout crates.

The major shift tasks are:

• Keep DAQ running collecting colliding beam data and cosmics or beam halo data. Recording must be kept ON for all runs.
• All test runs and trigger configurations must be stopped and freed during global data taking with colliding beam, unless specifically approved.
• Include all front-end and readout crates in the data taking; experts have to be called in the case of problems.
  Detector experts should clearly indicate the status of crates on the white board in the Control Room.
• Conduct Captain and DAQ shifter walkthroughs, fill check lists and report all problems to experts.
• Run all detectors at full voltages (beam conditions permitting).
• Monitor beam losses and silicon radiation doses.
• Help experts with short controlled accesses.
• Run all detector Examines under Detector shifter control. Report any problems to the subdetector coordinators.
• Run DØ event display
• When there is no beam, calibration runs should be taken. These runs should be coordinated with the DAQ shifter.
• Captains are reminded that they are responsible for creating shiftsets for data to be reprocessed on the farms.
• People have requested that the shift summary report still be mailed to d0shifters, as well as posting on D0news. If many people on d0shifters do not wish to see this, we will setp up a separate mailing list.

For colliding beam, the default file is:
global_CalMuon-2.0.xml
with the appropriate prescale files (currently 3E30). See the Trigger Meister comments in the trigger file.

For cosmic ray running there are two files:
cosmics-1.1.xml - does not include the L2 crates
cosmics-1.2.xml - contains the L2 crates in non-readout mode

For proton-only beam running:
proton_halo_only-1.2.xml
