Run Plan proposed for Aug8-25, 2002.
Please send comments to Pawel de Barbaro (barbaro@fnal.gov)

This is the draft of run plan for HCAL testbeam, august 8th (Wednesday) 
 through August 25th (Sunday). Right now the plan is that we will test
 first set of wedges until August 25th and to switch to new set of wedges
 starting August 26th (Monday). 

 Right now HV is set do 8KV, 80V bias. For now, we will leave this voltage
 setting. At some point we want to study the time shape of the pulse as a
 function of bias voltage. Do we want to raise HV on HPD to see noise
 behaviour

 Run plan 

     No-ECAL data

 1)
 Complete wire sourcing of both wedges, 
 Look for possible problems with optics, cabling, wiring (root-uples,
 peak-finder?)
 Correct possible problem, redo wiring, if needed 

 2)
 Repeat pi 225 scans of all towers (phi 1 thru 6)
 After each phi scan is completed, switch to mu-225 (close slits) and
 take mu-225 data for each tower

 3)
 Repeat e 100 scans for all towers (phi 1 thru 6)

 4)
 Do electron and pion energy scans for the selected towers in HCAL
     phi=3, eta=3
     phi=3, eta=7
     phi=3, eta=11
     phi=3, eta=15
     phi=3, eta=16 (study energy going into optical cables)

 5)
 Transverse scans across wedge: (100e, 50pi, 100pi, 300pi)
     a) along center of eta=3 tower
     b) along edge between eta=3 and eta=4 tower

     Data taken with ECAL in front of HCAL


 7)
 Complete electron calibration of ECAL

 6) 
 L00 optical reweighting study:
 For this study we need to confirm the amount of dead material in the
 final detector vs what we have right now in the beamline
     a) we will build a longer L00 cable, so that phi=3/L00 can be plugged
        into the HPD(phi=8). 
     b) we will cross-calibrate 'longer L00' cable and HPD3 vs HPD8 with
        wire source scans
     c) we will effectively take pion data using two readouts: 
        take pion energy scans for phi=3, eta=3,7,11
     d) find the most favourable weighting factor (hopefully we will need
        to attenuate L00, if not, we are in trouble) 
     e) use neutral density filter to confirm results with single readout

 8)

 Repeat transverse scans across wedge (point5) with ECAL in the
 beamline
