FYI Flemming Store Dumping Policies As of 2/4/2004 the policy outlined in the following paragraphs have been adapted. Note the time-rule of 4.5 hours; this is made to optimize the turn around time between stores. Our general policy is to vote for dump when the ZDC rates are ~700/sec. So far this has happened after ~3.5-4 hours when the initial intensities are in the 3,500-4,000 ZDC/c range. (1) 4:15hrs into a store MCR will issue "Prepare do dump" via BERT, if the injectors are ready. (2) If the injectors are not ready, a screen message will be posted, announcing the delay in the store dump (and an estimate for the delay if available). (3) Experiments can still vote down stores earlier, with 2 out of 4 votes. (4) If 3 out of 4 experiments would like to extend the store, we will extend the store (this is the same voting rule as above). If you want to extend a store, MAKE THIS KNOWN TO MCR VIA PHONE. Currently we consider this an exceptional condition. Should this happen too often, we will implement a mechanism via BERT. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Flemming Videbaek Physics Department Brookhaven National Laboratory e-mail: videbaek@bnl.gov phone: 631-344-4106 _______________________________________________ Brahms-l mailing list Brahms-l@lists.bnl.gov http://lists.bnl.gov/mailman/listinfo/brahms-lReceived on Thu Feb 5 11:35:17 2004
