Data shift report (08-May-2000 to 12-May-2000)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  by Nicola Zaccheo
  From run 19512 to 19527
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
 First full week with WFDs out of acquisition.
 The WFDs have physically been dismantled from SM1, SM2, SM5 and SM6

 In a first moment the run length had been adjusted to ~10-10.5 hrs (starting
 from run 19502) but this caused some problems with Pisa MV6 that produced
 the RUN-END ~30 min. before the real run closing. So, starting from run 19515,
 the run length has been set to 130000 Kb, i.e. ~8.8 hrs.
 In the following tabel I reported the run duration and the uVax's dead time
 before and after the WFDs decommissioning:

                          Run duration dead time (uVax1/uVax2/uVax3)
            with WFDs ~ 5.4 hrs ~ 1.6% 2.0 1.7
 w/o WFDs (runs19502-19514) ~ 10 hrs ~ 0.6% 0.8 0.7
 w/o WFDs (final run size) ~ 8.8 hrs ~ 0.6 0.7 0.6

 During this week a big effort has been done in the last WFDs calibrations.
 PULSER/WFD, FMT/WFD, LASER/WFD, LAMOSSKA and SMT calibrations have been
 completed foR all uVaxes. Sophia wants to repeat SMT calibrations on uVax2.
 We'll perform them the next Wednesday.

 Following problems happened this week:
    
    - run 19513 crashed on Monday morning (@ 9:35AM) for a broken PHRASE
      fan unit on SM4 (crate 1). Yiannis fixed it replacing one ball bearing;

    - starting from run 19510 channel 6TH0 (6T09-6T16/side-0) was dead on both
      CISPAM/HIPT (also during last LAMOSSKA calibration on uVax3). No signals
      from the corresponding three fan-in/fan-out (CSPAM/HIPT/LAMO) outputs
      were present. Problem fixed swapping this channels with a spare one;

    - starting from run 19515 we received a lot of NO Q's responses (~5000)
      from SM2 Stop Master (no XStop signals between SM1 STPM and SM2 STPM).
      Problem fixed re-soldering the disconnected wire on the relative input
      channel;

    - during run 19527 there were a lot of no Q's responses from the InterERP
      TDC on uVax3. Problem fixed unplugging and plugging back the Ehigh3 input
      on the InterERP Timing Manager Module;

    - run 19527 stalled because uVax2 was not collecting data. Everything
      solved by rebooting the uVax;

    - starting from Monday there was a synchronization failure on the PHRASE
      4M03-4 MIXER module. Problem fixed swapping one fan-out output with a
      spare one.

 On Thursday afternoon the temperature on the Attico went up till 27.4 C. This
 was due to an interruption of refrigerating system (for 1.8 hrs) and caused
 2 fan units breaking...Again in the night there was a similar warmup due to
 a (water) pump failure. Fortunatly it didn't caused any other damages on
 MACRO.

 The following TOHM channels have been disconnected (based on Erik's 3-sigma
 hottest criteria):

         uVax1 --> 1T03-0, 1T11-0, 2C14-0, 2T16-1
         uVax2 --> 3T07-1, 3T12-0, 3T13-0, 3T17-0,
                   4W05-1, 4T02-1, 4T10-0, 4T11-1
         uVax3 --> 5T03-1, 5T05-1, 5T06-0, 6B13-0,
                   6T11-0

  Other TOHM channels disconnected in the past are: 3T06-0, 3T06-1, 4T12-1,
  5T01-0, 5T01-1, 5T02-0, 5T02-1, 5T17-1, 5W08-0, 5W08-1, 5W09-0, 5W09-1,
  5W14-0 and 6T02-0.

 
   TRIGGER RATES:

            TOHM --> 4T13 ~5mHz, 5B13 ~4mHz, 5B12 ~3mHz
           ERP --> 3B07 ~5.5mHz
           LIP --> 1B16 ~0.3mHz(!), 1B12~0.9mHz, 1B14~0.7mHz, 2E10 ~4.5mHz,
                      3E04 ~6mHz, 5T02 ~0.5mHz(!), 6T12 ~9mHz
           ERP-GC --> 1E01 ~125mHz, 6W12 ~90mHz, 6S04 ~120mHz, 6S07 ~70mHz.
           PHRASE --> 1E09 ~35mHz, 2W14 ~34mHz, 5W11 ~90mHz
 
  
    LAMOSSKA:

      There are still not justified LAMOSSKA triggers for SM5 (LAM5-0).
    
             

    CSPAM/ERP efficiency:

      With the new run duration we have more statistic. The 'problematic'
      boxes are 3B07 ~40%, 4E14 ~60%.

    ERP/LIP efficiency:

      Low efficiency for 1B12, 1B14, 1B16,1T15, 1C08, 1C14, 1C15, 5T02, 6C09
      and 6C10.

  
    SPU: still hits on ERPI, ERPII, SPARE and LED on uVax1 (sometime 1/2 VETO
         bits too).

    STOP MASTER:

      The fake hits on SM4 CIT disappeared after disconnecting 4T11 from TOHM.
           
                
    CALMOD:

      2 weeks analysed for ERP constants: ref. runs 19460 and 19497.
      They cover runs untill 10-MAY-2000
        
             
    DATA RE-PROCESSING:

      Last DD processed is DD282. The DDM processing started in order to
      produce new CALMOD constants for all MACRO runs with ATTICO in
      acquisition.
