Summer Shutdown

August 1, 2019 4

S. Berkman
Collecting 16 Hz cosmic data.
Staffing 24 hour shifts.
MiniBooNE turned off July 17
Laser calibration data collected July

22-24.

Possibility for more later in the

summer.

Power outages
Off July 31-August 2, and August 27-28

to accommodate outages at LArTF

New BES and RWM beam signals

from AD

Remove old hardware
Working to implement delay to match

previous BES signal used to trigger.

New BES, Current BES, New RWM

S. Berkman
Argon purity related work
Purged and refilled external dewar
Small drop in TPC pulse heights and

PMT rates around cryostat fills

First fill after dewar purge last week,

no drop in cryostat purity

Stopped analyzing argon in cryostat
Analyzers not sensitive enough to

detect impurities observed in TPC

Top off detector every ~1.5 months

instead of every 2 weeks

Fewer opportunities to introduce

contaminants

Regenerate filters
Recover more quickly in the future if

there are contaminants in the argon

Pump replacement
Pump tripped June 7. Restarted

manually, and working.

Needs to be replaced annually
Update controls computers to be

compatible with Windows 10
