Progress in 62.4 & 22.4 GeVGoal: 250M
Expect: ~100M

Progress in 62.4 & 22.4 GeV

Problem with Bunch Mask• Yesterday afternoon, we were getting ~120 Hz
of collision trigger• Only recording ~70 Hz to tape• Everything appeared to be timed in properly
• Don Barton applied 5ns corrections for going to 22 GeV (vs. <1 ns for 62.4 relative to 200 GeV)
• Problem traced down to using an older bunch mask file (no change since Saturday)• Server rebooted today around 9:45am

Updated Expectations for 22.4 GeV• Might expect initial rates of 500-600Hz
• O(10000)/(2*10) (beta* and gamma)• We only accept ~25% of this: 125-150 Hz
• This is approximately what we saw, accounting for the missing factor of ~2
• If we get 120 Hz and we get• 6+24+8 = ~38 hours run (6pm 3/22 - 8am 3/24)• Then 38 hours x 50% uptime = 8.2M events
• Adequate for our needs

Special Requests for 62.4 GeV• Polarity flips
• 0: Thurs 3/17 9am• A: Thurs 3/17 1pm
• PHOBOS magnet induced unexpected “field-off” run• Only got ~200k physics
events• Not enough for physics

Expectations for 62.4 GeV• 12 Days, 50% uptime• 450 Hz average trigger rate• This gives about 250M events
• Pushes out to ~5 GeV in pT - to match PRLPhys. Rev. Lett. 94, 082304 (2005)
