Commissioning Schedule and Shifts First Call E906 Collaboration Meeting 23 February 2010 2 Commissioning Understand Beam Check detector gains and thresholds with minimum ionizing particles Set detector timing Set trigger timing Measure rates in a systematic way multiple KMAG fields ??? Take data to align spectrometer KMAG magnet on and magnet off?? Take data to study trigger matrices If STA 1 chambers exist, measure solid in center and at ends of liquids to help calibrate vertex resolution Do we have an alternative??? Is there any usefulness for a cosmic ray trigger air showers? How much time is need for each step? How much access time is needed for adjustments? What can be interleaved? What installation can be interleaved? Set up a commissioning plan group! Send us your requests conditions, time access 3 Shifts When do we want to start scheduling shifts? One philosophy, start early and shift people will help in installation Second philosophy, wait until we are ready for beam Since 2 people will be needed for any NM4 access, will have to start with at least 2 once NM4 is closed up. Need subsystem experts continuously available at FNAL early June??? until shutdown. Nominally ~50 people need 7 per week minimum Given schedule conflicts probably need to start at 5-7 days/month of shifts for everyone. We need lots of people around May-July Get your safety training up to date, especially radiation safety and controlled access
