PHENIX Experiment Status Update - March 5, 2013
Preparations for the PHENIX collaboration are ongoing, focusing on optimizing the trigger system and subsystem monitoring checks. The fast production system is being prepared for system checks. With beam availability, full detector runs and calibration procedures will be conducted. Key criteria for the start of physics include achieving 109 bunches, establishing longitudinal polarization with less than 5% transverse component, and at least 55% polarization at the start of the store, along with specific parameters like beta* and proton count.

PHENIX Run-13 status Hubert van Hecke for the PHENIX collaboration Hubert van Hecke - 05 Mar 13
Preparations continue • Tuning up the trigger system • Check out subsystem monitoring • Prepare the fast-production system • With beam, system checks and full-detector runs • No beam: calibrations • (IR access when available) • On Friday, move the Silicon detectors in from the retracted position.

Criteria for start-of-physics • 109 bunches in the machine • Longitudinal polarization established, <5% transverse component • >=55% polarization at the start of the store • Beta* = 0.65 • >1*1011 protons/bunch Hubert van Hecke - 05 Mar 13
