Trying to get started again....
Today was an exercise in frustration as several key members of the collaboration are getting married (not to each other!) or are simply on vacation or simply do not wish to take thier nextel with them on a Saturday night.
Case in point, the Compton polarimeter did not wish to behave. Specifically, the interaction spot on the TV camera is not seen, so the laser is either OFF or the shutter in blocking it. Following the experimenters guide is not helpful as the computer that it asks to log into is not known to the network, on either the daq, lab or epics networks. So, we tried paging various people who might be helpful to no avail. This was exacerbated by the fact that when we finally got into one of the two computers we were supposed to get into, we did not know the password because it was not documented anywhere. In the end, Doug Hasell phoned in from Canada to proclaim that for our purposes, we can simply assume the polarization to be 65% and let sleeping dogs lie.
And so I go off to sleep better dreams....
G'night,
Kevin
