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

[QC on FLP] 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: EMCAL oncall should be informed if EMCAL is in global runs and if it is not during night shift. Take note of the error-type in the y axis.
  • 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.

[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] FECidMaxChWithInput_perSM#

bad quality empty
FECerror FECempty
  • If "Data OK" is shown, everything is fine.
  • If a FEC is noisy (not uniform distributions) please call the EMCAL oncall.
  • Ignore the red messages: they are not yet tuned for data.
  • If the plot is empty, and EMCAL is included in the data taking, call EMCAL oncall.

[QC on FLP] 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] 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 good quality bad quaity
OccEabove OccEbelow OccErr

IF PHYSICS RUN - The occupancy plots should be uniformly filled during Physics 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.

IF CALIBRATION RUN monitor: Digit Occupancy plots (CALIB) for E>0.5 GeV - it should be uniformly filled during Calibration runs.
- if something noisy appears, please call EMCAL oncall.

[QC on EPN] Cell Amplitude#

DigitAmplitude

  • no instructions for the moment.
  • If the plot is empty, and EMCAL is included in the data taking, call EMCAL oncall.

[QC on EPN] 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.
