MuCap Shift Duties (MuCap page, run7)

Overview

The primary responsibility of the shift crew is to maintain save experimental conditions and take efficient and
high quality data. The shift crew can leave the experimental barack temporarely.

Main tasks:

Familiarize yourself with the manuals.
Read the recent elogs and the recent shift_sum.xls.
Follow measurement plan (verbal, white board or from log book)
Make sure that DAQ s running. This is monitored on the MIDAS status webpage.
Here are recent instructions.
Make sure that the slow control MIDAS is running.
monitoring tasks: In addition to the MIDAS status page you should monitor the
experimental equipment via

slow control CAMAC page (bears slow control window )
slow control LAbview page (bears slow control window )
slow control Trend plot page (bears slow control window )
Borer scalers
Bubble display on camera

analysis tasks to check data quality

every hour run evdisplay
example: evdisplay /mnt/firewire/run04140.mid
continuously check online monitor display on bears (pull down menu)

Logbook entries:

the main logbook is the elog. Report there

significant changes and observations (make elog even if it is recorded in shift_sum.xls)
at the end of a shift, the shift leader has to write a brief summary, e.g. shift goals, good runs and special
shift events.

the shift_sum.xls on bears contains a list of run with brief comments. Update those regularly and attach the latest
version of the shift_sum.xls to your shift summary elog.
ONLY THE SHIFT IS ALLOWED TO SAVE THE shift_sum.xls FILE TO AVOID OVERWRITING.
We still keep a written logbook for notes during the shift. These
handwritten notes should be transferred to the elog by the end of the shift at the latest.
