Start of Shift Notes:

taking over store 3253 at L=16.8E30. Plan is that this store will be dumped some time duting
our shift and until then we just take data.

There were now several runs taken with trigger table PHYSICS_2_02[2,424,431] which has the L2 muon
triggers in tagging mode (total lumi about 4 pb^-1). For anybody who wants to look at the data:  


- long runs with this trigger table were 179286, 179275, 179238 
- some shorter runs: 179277, 179256, 179260 
- the bits that need testing are called L2_TEST* and are 92-103 
- for all those runs the silicon was off, all COT SL's on and SL2 for the XFT masked on

-- Mon Feb 23 14:46:54 comment by...Vadim -- Most of the monitors should by now have picked up the new references and it should improve the picture. The Tau Phi plot linear function fit checking will be replaced in the future with more useful check to a reffile plot. For now disregard it when it turns red at high statistics.

Lost a bunch of protons in the last five minutes.  rate went to 30 kHz.  Quick Spike and now
gone.  RF peak sum has no drop so not sure what that was.

Mon Feb 23 10:26:08 MCR's plan is to keep this store until 4pm. They intend to do some studies before but could not give me details yet. They will let us know later which studies they will do and whether they are dangerous for us. - Beate

-- Mon Feb 23 10:37:32 comment by...Tom -- Store that starts Fri Feb 20 ~ 11:30am are from machine studies (3rd plot).
-- Mon Feb 23 10:55:58 comment by...Tom --

Some Notes:
Store Feb 16-18:  Ran With Silicon and w/out COT for some of the time.
Store Feb 18-20: Without Silicon.  COT I think is fully on (all layers)
Store Feb 20-22: same as above, COT fully on.
Store Feb 22-current: same as above, COT fully on.

Mon Feb 23 10:52:59 MCR will start collimator studies at 11am. We will turn our HV to standby apart from CLC. - Beate

SiliMon crashed again. These are the last messages:

TrackMonitor: event 34251
DisplayServer: ERROR reading object messages!
DisplayServer: closing socket!
DisplayServer: End with signal 11 (= SIGSEGV)
Report end to the StateManager
Sockets closed

I restarted it again.

The crate b0fcal00 had problems: Error reading VRB in slot 10 for 
event 907551. It was RED in VXWORKS monitor. 
Automatic HRR was delivered by run control, but could 
not recover from halted, so I reset and shepeherd the crate, 
then recover and run.

Mon Feb 23 14:55:11 MCR called: they will start studies at 3pm and move the synch light mirror. They think it can be dangerous for us: so, we turn everything off/standby. After these studies they will dump the store and then start the next one. - Beate

MCR did somthing to improve abortgap losses at the cost of LOSTP.  Checked MCR log book but
they haven't documented it yet.

-- Mon Feb 23 15:29:11 comment by...ronmoore -- It's in the Tevatron eLog...it was a tune change as part of a study.

Mon Feb 23 15:22:54 In CO Summary Database no Stage0 info is present about run179286; that's because Stage0 was killed using killMon.sh (= kill -9 ) and as it was killed it in this way, no info was written on database. - Silvia

Mon Feb 23 15:27:05 I have unswapped BMU HV channels 72 and 84 E. They were swapped a week or so ago. As things with both channels have been fine since, I've undone it. - ps

We moved the ethernet connection for dap83 and dap84 from the  
hub to the patch panel.

Mon Feb 23 15:43:25 Try again to install new CSL exe but have a problem. Will check that the new exe was built properly. Go back to old executable for now. - Tony Vaiciulis

Mon Feb 23 15:55:01 Shift Summary:

Summary: 
======== 
- took data at end of store 3252: MCR did studies between 11 and 11.30am and 
then again after 3pm. We were off both times which explains the apparently  
poor efficiency. Store will be dumped at 4pm. 

- could not get stage0 results for run 179286 (see above) 

- there are quite a few ObjectMon plots which are "red". We don't think  
they indicate any actual problem: probably just due to the unusual  
configuration (Silicon off). Either the thresholds for making them  
red should be changed or the reference should be changed.  

- Tony V. worked on installing new CSL executable without memory leak 
but has not yet succeeded 

ongoing work: 
============= 
- Carla P. and Vadim R. are working on fixing the bit which is stuck in L1 calorimeter trigger:
crate b0l1cl03 

- Steve N. has the UDPS table and will test it
