CMGinsburg/YKKim	Alison Lister	Catalin Ciobanu	Griffiths/Yamaoka	Mary Convery

Start of Shift Notes:

Taking data with store 3228 still.  B0Lum 12E30, stack 73 mA. 
Expect to keep store until average B0/D0 lumi 10E30. 
Expect 4 hours TeV studies between stores, but no TeV 
access.  Several pending requests for studies/tests between 
stores.  For the next store experts will make some  
significant COT/XFT adjustments.

Fri Feb 13 09:37:02 From the MCR e-log:
This store will go until 1300, at which time it will be terminated. Tev studies will follow, and then we will go into shot setup. (Dave Ifversen)
- Camille Ginsburg

Fri Feb 13 10:41:48 We paused the run for about 5 minutes for Aseet to play with COT HV and determine a new HV setting for SL3+4. - convery :: (run 179056)

Fri Feb 13 11:08:15 Yet another update to the plan from the run coordinator elog:
11:04:37- The Plan: End of store studies begin at 1230 and should last less than an hour. Terminate the store, follow with Tevatron studies. After studies (late afternoon?), go into shot setup. After the shot is in, stack to 30E10 and do transfers to the Recycler. Shot strategy, protons 265-275E9 per bunch, pbar as per guidelines. - JPM

-- Fri Feb 13 11:29:09 comment by...convery -- more details:
The Tevatron is ready for their short study period after this store. The orbit has drifted somewhat and may be the cause of the increase in the abort gap monitor rate. They will make some small orbit adjustments during the study period.

Jump in B0PAGC. MCR says a heavy truck must have passed by. 
Silicon was put on stand-by, and we waited for PAGC to stabilize.
Then turned silicon on and restarted the run.

Fri Feb 13 11:33:33 TevMon alarm: proton loss in the abort gap over 20k Hz. Put Si to standby. The loss went down to normal very quickly: in a minute or so. Called MCR - their guess is that a heavy gas truck has passed by. Informed the Silicon group. - Young-Kee
-- Fri Feb 13 11:43:18 comment by...Rainer -- heavy gas truck ??? I guess we should put in a gas truck alarm in TeVMon. Thanks for the immediate response. This was excellent.

Fri Feb 13 12:59:46 I am working on the HV systems controlled by the muon chamber pc. First step, CES/CPR/CCR go off. - ps
-- Fri Feb 13 13:33:46 comment by...ps --  settings restored, back to standby, can't figure out why I can't make a spare channel trip, broke the laser enclosure. Perhaps I'll dork with something in the CMX chassis next.
-- Fri Feb 13 13:35:48 comment by...ps --  cmx off
-- Fri Feb 13 13:45:39 comment by...ps --  working on CMX se 8/9, rest off
-- Fri Feb 13 14:24:31 comment by...ps --  still working on this
-- Fri Feb 13 15:29:24 comment by...ps --  verified that the trigger inhibit was working locally for CMX.

DataComm will update the CDF online DNS server. 

This should in principle not cause problems....

Fri Feb 13 13:36:08 Run 179057 TERMINATE: XFT wire test ended - Alison x2080
-- Fri Feb 13 14:24:49 comment by...K. Lannon -- I have checked the data from this run. All wires in superlayer 2 (innermost axial superlayer) are showing 100% occupancy, confirming that we have successfully masked them on. XFT is now ready for the HV to be turned off in SL2.

-- Fri Feb 13 13:56:06 comment by...R.J. Tesarek -- Heavy Truck Theory:
Proton Losses vs time during the time a heavy truck passes CDF (left) and proton losses and proton abort gap losses for the period earlier today(right). Note that in the right hand figure the proton losses show no features, while the abort gap losses do. Can a heavy truck produce this effect?

-- Fri Feb 13 13:59:58 comment by...V Tiwari -- With two pilot proton bunches in.
-- Fri Feb 13 14:42:29 comment by...ronmoore -- No - that's uncoalesced beam...30 consecutive buckets filled with beam. Two of those buckets happen to be ones normally filled with coalesced beam for an HEP store, that's why they appear in the FBI and SBD bunch-by-bunch intensities.

Fri Feb 13 15:30:51 I set things up with a static load so I could trip a CMX channel. We set run control up in a run, tripped CMX and watched the trigger inhibit status and the behavior of Run Control. Everything behaved as it was expected to over and over again. - Phil, Alison, Ray
-- Fri Feb 13 15:51:44 comment by...ps -- I thing I noticed is that R_C always knew about the transitions before the inhibit gui. I guess that's not so surprising...
-- Fri Feb 13 16:17:15 comment by...ps -- a thing or 1 thing not I think I noticed

Fri Feb 13 15:31:56 I have cleaned up my mess and put the muon chambers and the argonne stuff back to standby. - ps
