Commissioning and running of sPHENIX

[Stefan Bathe <stefan.bathe AT baruch.cuny.edu>]

Dear All,

SHIFT TRAINING (scroll down for work training)

==============

The shift sign-up page (linked on the run web page:  https://sphenix-intra.sdcc.bnl.gov/WWW/run/2023/) lists the trainings needed for shift crews and the additional trainings for shift leaders (and period coordinators).  This list is also reproduced below.  Almost all trainings are online and can (should!) be done before coming to BNL for shift.  
There are two in-person trainings that happen the Monday before shift starts on Tuesday:

1) Collider-User Training
————————————————
This applies if you have never taken CA User training. (If you have, you can take the challenge exam online.)  You need to register for this training:

https://www.bnl.gov/training/ -> Training Courses -> Classroom Courses -> Collider Accelerator -> Course Calendar -> Expand the arrow of the training you want and register

Otherwise the training might be cancelled.

2) Shift Training
——————————
This is given in person after the Monday shift change meeting in the 1008 conference room.

A few weeks before your shift starts, your training record will be updated to include JTA RC-42J (or RC-42H if you are shift leader or PC).  This will make it easy to check if you have all required trainings. 

In addition to "Cyber Security" (GE-CYBERSEC) and "Guest Site Orientation" (TQ-GSO) which you should already have, the trainings required for all shifters include:

• AD-OPM-2.3
• AD-OPM-3.15
• AD-OPM-3.16
• AD-OPM-11.2.3
• AD-OPM-11.2.5
• AD-OPM-11.2.9
• AD-CA_COLLIDER_USER (You need to register for the training in advance. If no one is registered the training might be canceled.) or its Challenge Exam if you have taken this course before. 
• TQ-GERT (or above such as Radiation Worker 1) or its Challenge Exam if you have taken this course before. 
• TQ-ODH or its Challenge Exam if you have taken this course before. 
• TQ-SMF
• AD-SPHX ("sPHENIX Shift Training" instructed by the Run Coordinator on Monday as mentioned above) 

Furthermore, for Shift Leaders, there are additional trainings:

• AD-OPM-11.2.1
• AD-OPM-11.2.2
• AD-OPM-11.2.4

WORK TRAINING

==============

The JTA for work in 1008 is RC-42G.  It corresponds to a subset of the shift training:

In addition to "Cyber Security" (GE-CYBERSEC) and "Guest Site Orientation" (TQ-GSO) which you should already have, the trainings required for work in 1008 include:

• AD-OPM-11.2.9
• AD-CA_COLLIDER_USER (You need to register for the training in advance. If no one is registered the training might be canceled.) or its Challenge Exam if you have taken this course before. 
• TQ-GERT (or above such as Radiation Worker 1) or its Challenge Exam if you have taken this course before. 
• TQ-ODH or its Challenge Exam if you have taken this course before. 
• TQ-SMF

As you’ll learn in the sPHENIX User Awareness Training (AD-OPM-11.2.9), these trainings are not necessarily sufficient.  Additional training might be required depending on the nature of the work.  Also, check-in with a Work Control Coordinator and the Shift Leader is required before doing any work in 1008.

Best regards,

Stefan
