CLAS12 “Ready for Science” 09/25-26, 2017

The scope of the meeUng is to:

(A) Review the readiness of the “CLAS12 First experiment” effort to coordinate the CLAS collaboraBon in the task of producing first rate science in course of and following the data taking period, and be ready for expedient analysis and result publicaBons (this includes both understanding the detector and having the simulaBons and reconstrucBon soIware in place for physics.) (B) Review the readiness of the effort to operate and commission all systems, providing the

• n-line monitoring and controls, trigger system, and the readout of all detector and

ancillary systems. (C) Review the readiness of the calibraBon effort to use the scheduled engineering run for

• pBmizing the detector responses. This effort must be prioriBzed to support the CLAS12 First

experiment effort in the physics run immediately following the engineering run.

Note: For the purpose of this review, the commiCee should assume: Both magnets will perform at the level required for the compleUon of the First Experiment plan, and beam Ume will be made available to carry out the program as requested.

Specific Charge Items

• 1. Is the presented commissioning plan for CLAS12 comprehensive and developed in sufficient detail to

ensure that upon compleBon the CLAS12 system will be ready for producBon data taking? Is the 3meline reasonable and opBmized, both in terms of duraBon of the study and the order of acBviBes.

• 2. Have the necessary production triggers been developed that are needed for the physics run,

and are plans in place to test their efficiency?

• 3. Are the presented monitoring and software tools adequate for the efficient commissioning of all

CLAS12 systems?

• 4. Are the online and offline analysis shi8 staffing plans during the commissioning period appropriate and

adequate?

• 5. Are the available resources (e.g. compuBng manpower) sufficient to enable the implementaBon of the

commissioning results into the producBon data analysis on a reasonably short Bme scale (weeks)?

• 6. Is the documentation of all systems (detector hardware, online/offline software, operating

procedures, etc.) sufficiently detailed and complete to provide the required support for the shift taker and experts?

• 7. Is the scope of simulation studies that have been performed or are planned before the run

period adequate to understand the expected baseline performance of the CLAS12 system

• 8. Are there studies or tests missing that should be specifically included in the plan to ensure the

readiness for production data taking and processing?

Run Group A

Experiment ending with A or B are run group experiments approved by the CLAS collaboration. They are running parallel to the experiments with same experiment number. Experiments ending with (a) and (b) take data in two run groups.

Additional Comments

Run Schedule: Hall B is scheduled for an Engineering Run for a total of 30 calendar days beginning December 4, 2017, and ending January 28, 2018. Run Group A is scheduled to begin February 5. There are 8 days of no-beam built into the schedule that can be used to implement changes to CLAS12 components if needed (for example as a result of findings during the engineering run). Response: The committee may respond to the charge questions using a single category of "recommendations”, which should be a combination of major comments and recommendations using "standard" categories. Report timeline: In order to be most useful for the collaboration in preparing for the upcoming engineering run and for the first physics experiment a draft report should be prepared within a week, and the final report within two weeks.
