April 1stApril Noise Thresholds to nominal (4/4 from 3/4), Cosmicsre-enabled Online monitoring from physics events only Start to see luminosity dependent trigger rate! “Got ~4 million events - and the ephemeral glory of the data taking record: ~20 microbarn-1.” 8th April Timing A few badly timed channels … Occasional spiky triggers Causing irritation through EMPTY (Cosmic) triggers More simulation errors MCM related: fixed MCMs with readout issues Online monitoring ATHENA Stability problems due to database-access issues at startup Blow-by-blow B.M.

April 15st April Pedestals Poorly set, particularly in Tile, after Intervention (8th March) Error in validation procedure crept in during last s/w update. AND …. Is the FJ Rate too low? Really? Hardware New broken channel in FCAL1 (0x04100f03) For next scope session In Run 152772 (April 9th) one cable from JEM0-CMM0 to JEP1-CMM0 (Energy Mergers) found itself disabled.

Calibration Energy scans infrequent Currently expert activity Calibration slots between fills are 1 hour …. A bit short for anything but PEDS/DACS 3 hours. Fewer of these and often at unsociable times Shifter should call … but often forgets Shift leader should publish e-log But these aren’t in real-time Solution Need to provide shifter-friendly software Exceptionally robust so as to preclude failures/confusions Provide default calibration rules Operational issues B.M.

Shorter term Noise cut studies (ongoing) Calibration issues (eg, FCAL) Re-do phos4 runs for saturated pulse studies Confirm/tweak timing with aggregated TeV statistics (June?) Overlap cable timing/lengths Longer term Mini-phos4 scans with beam TBB and Tile layer timing Fully optimised filter coefficients Dead channel corrections Energy scales (EM/HAD) Future work B.M.
