Status Update on PHENIX Experiment: Magnet Tuning and Detector Calibration Progress

John Haggerty reports from Brookhaven National Laboratory on the latest developments in the PHENIX experiment. The team is tuning magnets and managing the DAQ system with noise triggers to maintain readiness for the upcoming Muon RPC prototype. Internal clock mechanics and shift crews are focused on detector calibration, DAQ development, and thorough documentation practices. Preliminary evidence of collisions is emerging, and next week presents opportunities for short parasitic access. Important protocols are in place regarding machine timing and setup handover.

  1. PHENIX Status John Haggerty Brookhaven National Laboratory

  2. Tuning up • Magnets on • Running the DAQ on noise triggers to keep it ready; close to adding Muon RPC prototype • High voltages off or standby • Internal clock • Shift crews working on detector calibration, DAQ development, documentation, practice Noise triggers Mock Data Challenge

  3. Beam on We’re starting to see evidence of collisions (and background), but very preliminary ZDCNS RXNP N1 ZDC LL1

  4. The week ahead • Short parasitic access • Warning if the machine is passed over to us for timing and setup
