<ul>
<li><strong>DAY</strong>: After initial DAQ issues, resumed stable <strong>production running on 4He</strong>, collecting good data.</li>
<li>Around 1pm yesterday, MCC took beam to perform RF separator bleed-through studies. These were part of ongoing efforts to resolve beam delivery issues when the horizontal RF separator is active. MCC isolated the problem to cavity 4, with no bleed-through observed when running cavities 1–3 only (supplemented with magnetic steering).</li>
<li>Beam delivery resumed using horizontal magnetic extraction (horizontal RF separator off).</li>
<li><strong>SWING & OWL</strong>: Continued production on 4He. Multiple DAQ and detector alarms (trigger bit, ATOF, RICH, DC dark current).<ul>
<li><strong>Lost contact with RCDB during the night</strong> - is this something we should be concerned about? Is there a fallback when this happens?</li></ul></li>
<li>Today during DAY, we conducted our own bleed-through studies (switched off Hall B laser):<ul>
<li>With Hall A at 10 µA and Hall B laser off, <strong>we observed 10–15 Hz (peaking up to 25Hz) in the BOM</strong> (mostly top right quadrant), compared to ~200 Hz during 325 nA production running.</li>
<li>Other halo counters showed minimal activity. See <a href="https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4374446">4374446</a>, <a href="https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4374449">4374449</a>, and <a href="https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4374468">4374468</a> for results.</li></ul></li>
<li>Beam went down around 10:00am for further studies on horizontal separator by MCC, should return late DAY or early SWING.</li>
<li><strong>Accelerator Plans:</strong> Tomorrow ~7am, beam will go down for Arc-A magnet flush, will take couple of hours. They will also do additional checks on the horizontal separator, but NOT a full maintenance day.</li>

<li>Beam is currently down to study issues with horizontal separator, should come back during DAY or early SWING.<ul>
<li>We will continue production on 4He until <strong>7:00am Wednesday</strong>.</li></ul></li>
<li>ALERT repairs: <strong>RadCon sweep and pre-job briefing at 7:00am.</strong></li>
<li>Begin ALERT repairs (ATOF, AHDC) immediately afterwards</li>
<li>Can use beam downtime to address Moller/EPICS and any additional checks</li>
