Run 9 500 GeV Commission plan (start of draft) Not necessarily time ordered
or prioritized
Establish collisions
Develop Minbias trigger
BBC
TCU
DSMs
BBC as lumi and polarimeter
Commission and test scalers
Look for analyzing power - need > 30%? pol
FMS triggers and commissioning
EMC commissioning
Need minbias trigger to start - pol irrelevant
Timing Scan
Need stable beam background conditions - 2nd half of store?
Guess 4 hrs? scan both at same time
need EEMC and BEMC experts available
1 day min. to produce and check
Requires fast offline production of data on short time scale
HV adjustments and calibrations
Needs timing scan complete and set
Need minbias trigger - "low" backgrounds
1hr of beam - 3 succesive days
day of analysis of each run
Need calo experts and analyzers
Polarimetry commissioning in addition to BBC
ZDC -
signals into DAQ/trg
establish trigger
5-10M events with P>25%
min 1 day of analysis - try to analyze from trigger data
Suggest optimized trigger
Longer run after seeing analysis of first data (~1 day)
Needs detector and analysis experts
VPD
signals into DAQ/trg
signals at scalers
runs parasiticaly
Time to have answer few shifts of beam over few days?
Needs detector and analysis experts
Commission high level calo triggers
Needs calibration steps done
set thresholds based on rate scans - needs 1/2 a store
check for an mask hot towers at L0 and L2
monitor and analyze for a day
check L2 algos
confirm all ready to go
need L2 experts, calo experts
Criteria to switch to longitudinal
Some polarimeter working well enough to measure transverse components
Sufficient data to evaluate alternate polarimeters
Priorities? Time ordering? What can go in parallel? What could
but is prevented from going in parallel due to overlap of people?
