I think it is important to note the events of the weekend and keep them in perspective. This was not just another 6 shifts dedicated to Hall B tuning. </p>

Wien flip was Thursday Day, Injector recovery followed on Swing. We did the harp scans to characterize the differences throughout the machine. <span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">We
recovered to Hall </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">B and Hall A on Friday </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">Owl.
Hall A and B beam sizes were different and adjusted accordingly. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Beam was sent to the Hall B Faraday Cup</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> Day Shift Saturday. The beam popped up right away on the
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Faraday Cup Viewer, no trouble. Hall B reported only slight adjustments to the beam profile as seen by the 2H02 harp. </span></p>
<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 12pt; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></p>
<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 12pt; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">This is when the Injector Group was called in to adjust the Position </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Asymmetry and Compton rates for the Hall A Beam. Changes were put in reducing the size of the chopper circle. During this no
beam to Hall B. </span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Upon sending back through the machine, the timing (visible in an offset to PL though the machine) was way off. This makes sense because of the TOF change through the chopper. When we sent beam back to Hall B a
large tail was observed. Likely because of less than optimal bunch length. We then spent a few shifts coming up with a solution that optimized the transport of the tail and Tagger spot size on the 2C24 harp and viewer. The hall finally accepted to retry the
FCup transport even though the beam is smaller than what the hall been requesting the day before. The tail certainly transports down the line to the FCup as seen by the 2H02 Harp, but is in the horizontal plan that they are not as concerned with. </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Also, it came to my attention yesterday that every time a Wien angle change has happened the 0L region quads have changed. How were these values determined? If they are changed every time, then we should do the
INJ-> NL match each time. </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">So things up for discussion:</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"></p>
<ol style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span>Do we need to change the 0L quads? It would be interesting to put them back to values saved before the flip on Thursday, then simply take harp scans so see the difference that just the wien angle change made, independent
of the 0L quad changes. Perhaps the Inj Group already has a handle on this? </li><li>If we find then answer to the previous question is Yes, then what is the best course of action. Every time we have been able to eventually find a solution in the Hall lines. I think we should do the INJ->NL match measurement at the very least. We should
go through the same process of characterization through the machine (take harp swipes before an after maybe some key viewer shots, like at 0L, 0R, and 1L02)</li><li>Is reducing the chopper circle best practice? Are we going to return it to nominal settings at next wien flip? If we do keep these settings, we should optimize the bunch length. I could do another quick measurement at the Arc 1 SLM???</li><li>As far as Hall B tuning, there is a little bit of a human factor in that not everyone sitting in the Hall B counting house is willing to "try" a certain beam size as measured by the 2C24 harp, to the FCup. We in the MCC and the Counting House should have
some guidance on the minimum beam size that we should try, if this guidance is clear we should have our Crew Chiefs push the issue, or call the Hall B Run Coordinator. </li><li>We also need to ensure that the beam is at the correct place at the 2C21 and 2C24 bpms before Degaussing the Tagger. Once the Tagger is degaussed, Hall B will not allow us to raise Halo Counter FSD set points far enough to get beam to the end of the line
w/o tripping the counters. We have lost hours to this, and some have been able to simply steer the bleed though from the Hall A beam and using the Halo counters for guidance on left, right, up, or down. Many times though we end up Ramping the Tagger to find
the beam again. </li></ol>

<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Yes, we need to review the past issues we've had after a wein change and develop a plan to be followed.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Brian and Daniel were discussing this this morning and should be invited to attend (I know Brian is going to attend, Daniel is Crew Chief but if it is quiet he should be able to attend)</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">There was mention that Injector match data was taken in the past but a match hasn't been applied since July. After the next wein change do we want to match the Injector to the NL?</p>
