The AuAu running is going into the last 8 days of running. The machine has run fairly well in recent eve+nights and this is expected
to continue over the weekend. The yellow beam still has lifetime problems, and and 12 hour beam development period is scheduled from
Monday morning 6.00 am.
- Please turn magnets to 0 field, and standby at that time.
- The running at 12 deg 2/3 fields has started (.66 M) collected
aim up to 810M at 2/3 field (and at least 4M)
- 40 deg 1.5 M for HBT is complete.
- The high statistics program at 90 deg has started - there is an issue if the retracted position (i.e. reduced solid angle by 25%) is
an issue.
In the previous e-mail I requested, and will like to repeat a call for un-finished business. e.g angles, fields in the exsisting program
that needs repeating, or special runs that enhanches our understanding of present data or in preparation for upcoming runs.
So far there are a couple of items
- Michael M. requested a short run ~100K minbias data with reduced ZDC HV to understand tube saturation.
- I will like to take a several hours to develop the H1/H2 trigger setup, probably middle of the week (though not Thursday)
- Michael suggested we study the 22GeV beam, not so much to take physics data, but to gain insight how to deal
with lower energy beams in preparation for the future. E.g. ZDC threshold/settings/response triggering. He is planning to come to BNL
for the weekend for this purpose.
