Don't call EMC expert during the night if run is not physics

[QC on FLP - plot integrated over the run] Error Type for SM (Super Module)#

Green: good quality Red: bad quality
ErrorTypeOK ErrorTypeError
  • If no entries, a green message "No Error: OK" inform you that everything is working properly.
  • In case of errors, a red message will appear: call EMCAL oncall if EMCAL is included in global runs. Take note of the error-type in the y axis.

[QC on FLP] Payload Size/events#

good quality bad quality empty
PayloadSizeEvOK PLEvError PLEvempty
  • If "Data OK" is shown, everything is fine.
  • If some of the DDL presents entries that are larger than the others, a red message will appears: please call EMCAL oncall.
  • If the plot is empty, and EMCAL is included in the data taking, call EMCAL oncall.

[QC on FLP - plot integrated over the run] Bunch minimum amplitude EMCAL+DCAL#

good quality bad quality empty
BunchOK BunchError BunchEmpty
  • One peak should be visibile if EMCAL is in data taking.
  • If a second peak appears around "Min raw amplitude (ADC)" in the range 20-50, call EMCAL oncall
  • If the plot is empty, and EMCAL is included in the data taking: please call EMCAL oncall

[QC on EPN - plot integrated over the run] Cell Occupancy plots (PHYS) for E>0.2 GeV and E<0.2 GeV and Cell Occupancy plots (CALIB) for E>0.5 GeV#

good quality bad quality (superMod not sending data) bad quaity (superMod noisy)
OccEbelowGOOD OccEbelow OccErr

Cell Occ. with E>0.2 GeV: the occupancy plots should be uniformly filled during Cosmics runs.
- if something noisy appears, please call the EMCAL oncall. - If the plot is empty, and EMCAL is included in the data taking, call EMCAL oncall.

Cell Occupancy plots with E>0.5 GeV (CAL)
- if some large empty areas (expect for the PHOS hole, present in the example for Cell Occ. with E<0.2 GeV) appear, please call EMCAL oncall.

[QC on EPN - plot integrated over the run] Cell Amplitude#

DigitAmplitude

  • no instructions for the moment.
  • If the plot is empty, and EMCAL is included in the data taking, call EMCAL oncall.
  • If peaks appear but the text in histogram is okay, That's a problem due to bad channel. send a message to EMCAL expert via mattermost.

[QC on EPN - plot integrated over the run] Cell Time#

DigitTime

  • If the plot is empty, and EMCAL is included in the data taking, call EMCAL oncall. If the errors appear during nigh shift:
  • add a note in the logbook, don't call the on-call.
  • in case LHC is preparing for collisions the on-call should be notified at "Prepare Ramp" (even during the night in this case) in case of such errors occur in a technical run before, so that the cards can be recovered before taking physics data.
