Background levels At the last PRC the extrapolated backgrounds at high beam currents above the safe operating level for the CTD Pumping procedure and cleaning with beam has cleared up the proton background problems Even at maximum anticipated beam currents, below the CTD safe operating level Proton Background problems solved! 7 th May 4 Richard Hall-Wilton, UCL

Efficiency Examples of good and bad fills Fills from Last Week Bad Fill Efficiency - 47% Regular trips Half way through the fill CTD became inoperable Good Fill Efficiency - 68% Occasional Trips DAQ Deadtime (5% CTD CURRENT HERA DELIVERED LUMINOSITY GATED LUMINOSITY beginning of fill, 5% later) Occasional DAQ glitches Loss before detector is on More typical since last weekend 7 th May 4 5 Richard Hall-Wilton, UCL
Efficiency Improvements Beam conditions become very spiky as the fill ages Working closely with HERA to solve this CTD trip thresholds have been increased to reduce sensitivity Provided information on the spikes to HERA Large effort from HERA Conditions are improving DAQ Deadtime Caused by huge size of events in DAQ system due to background Solution: Use new Global Tracking Trigger at SLT to reject these events Fully implemented by the end of this week DAQ Glitches Problems identified Efficiency is improving Improving luminosity procedure 7 th May 4 6 Richard Hall-Wilton, UCL
