 This section describes support tasks that are typically requested during the course of an experiment. Some of them, like Mask calibration, need to be coordinated with the experimenters.  This section describes support tasks that are typically requested during the course of an experiment.

 +===== Efficiency of OBJ Scintillator ===== 
 +At relatively high rates (~0.5 MHz), the OBJ scintillator will be gradually damaged. Experimenters should check the efficiency of this detector continuously during the course of the experiment. Whenever the rates drop below ~90%, they may request the Device/Beam Physicist to shim the detector.  
  
  
 +Before shimming, make sure that the thresholds are set properly (not too high) (refer to section "Object Scintillator Setup during [[Tuning the S800 (XDT)#Object scintillator setup|XDT]]"
