Calibration-Operators-Manual

An update to the calibration operator procedures for SNO+

Suggestions/Issues/Plans

Front Matter, (title page, linked table of contents) needs to be added.

May need to re-assess organisation of sections

2. Controls

• needs to be updated for the current calibration computer
• login information (passwords?)
• manmon (for external systems)

3. Manipulator

• needs update for hanger/bellows systems
• external systems (possibly) need to be highlighted
• double check that the computer system description is up to date

4. Manipulator Geometry

• Review "Global Coordinate System"
  • are all of the tables complete?
  • are they still correct?
• Does the context of the global geometry still make sense
  • Going from a UI mounted system to a I-beam mounted system
  • Should calibration system be defined wrt the PSUP
• Glovebox and UI description should be borrowed from the detector paper (early drafts)

5. Calibration Gas Systems

• Will need to have some comments about the cover gas system
• Specifications and UI cover gas monitoring will be required
  • Borrow from the detector paper and the TWiki
• Plans for URM cover gas required
• Comments on background mitigations and radon requirements

6. Laser

• Is the existing documentation sufficient
• Super Nova Calibration source?

7. Sources

• Need Scintillator sources (Laserball AmBe, Tagged, Untagged and Cherekov sources)
• Need external source specifications (AmBe, N16, Laserball)

8. Procedures

• Should separate Water Only, Scintillator Only, External and Generally applicable procedures into different sections
• Water Only
  • Mounting procedures
  • Internal N16 deployment
• External Deployment Procedures (Needs to be brought up to standards)
  • Mounting procedures (to be written)
  • N16
  • AmBe
  • Laserball
• Scintillator (with adjustments)
  • Mounting procedures
  • Pump/purge procedures
  • Cover gas maintenance
  • Source handling
  • AmBe / Encapsulated deployments (adapted from water)
  • Cherenkov deployment (adapted from water)
  • Laserball deployments (adapted from water)
• Applicable to all
  • Supernova source
  • DT generator
  • Laser procedures

9. Deployment Records?

• Would it be worth recording Run numbers, dates, run plans in the operators manual for future reference?
• Limit to one page summaries
