Shift Report of Nov 13 , 8 to 16. shifters: Garzoglio,Mussa Data taking at Chi2-12 MeV (bkg point) Pbeam=5680.7 MeV/c First half of the shift almost smooth. Then various problems. run 779) first DAQ hangup due to lack of buffer space. Please perform fresh_start after hangups, so that lost buffers could be reset. The hangup happened after a series of DAQ 5 sec GMout glitches. (further details in logbook). run 781) second premature stop due to bad tape on drive 5. run 782) weird DAQ 5 minute pause; DAQ restarted normally after GZ sent a 'hardware' clear to GM: funny.Run was abrubtly stopped few minutes just touching some DAq cables: therefore: don't mess around cables during run..... During runs 781 and 782 Gas jet started showing signs of a supsect partial nozzle obstruction. GG is investigating th e problem , and will try to raise nozzle temperature during deceleration. Summary of data put on tape: run Ldt/nb-1 /10**31 Ibeam/mA jet dens/10**14 778 134.5 1.3-1.4 17.0->15.8 1.38 779 26.5 1.4 15.8->15.4 1.6 780 142.8 1.4-1.5 15.4->14.2 1.5 781 3.5 1.5 14.2->14.1 1.7 782 27.4 1.2 13.7->13.6 1.6 783 69.7 1.3 13.5->12.9 1.7 905.7 nb-1 at the Chi-2 bkg point at end of run 783 1 more run, then decelerate to Psi (cross fingers)...
