This run plan covers:

From : EVE shift Dec 10, 2001

Through: EVE shift Dec 12, 2001

Toroid: On Reverse

Solenoid: On Forward

Current Situation and Plans

Store 818 is colliding and will be dumped around 8:00 Tuesday morning. There will be Tevatron studies until Thursday Owl shift at which time we expect shot setup. There will be stores the remainder of the week.

There will be a Controlled Access Wednesday from 10:00-14:00. Write your access requests on the white board in the control room.

The new global trigger file is the default: global_CalMuon-2.1.xml which has corrections for the jet and EM thresholds for the L3 trigger. There are prescale files for 2, 3, 5.4 and 6E30.

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 Meisters 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 FPD is planning end of store studies - these need to be coordinated with the MCR and CDF. In particular, CDF would like to be informed about which pots are being moved.

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 before starting the global data taking run with colliding beam.
• Include all front-end and readout crates in the data taking; experts have to be called in the case of problems. CFT will be read out in sparsified mode.
  Detector experts should clearly indicate the status of crates on the white board in the Control Room.
• Conduct Captain and shifters' 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. Until further notice the Global Examine is broken and need not be run.
• 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 set up a separate mailing list.

Any work that will be disruptive to data taking during colliding beam (e.g. DAQ system tests, L3 tests, TFW work, sDAQ etc.) must be approved by the Run Coordinator.

All work in the MCH must be done with the full knowledge and presence of the experts and can only occur during times when there is no colliding beam. No cables, configurations, crates etc should be changed without the experts explicit approval. Also the shift captain and DAQ shifter must be kept informed of any activity in the MCH and this work needs to be recorded in the electronic logbook, with the names of the people involved.

For colliding beam, the default file is now:

global_CalMuon-2.1.xml

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

proton_halo_only-1.2.xml
