Standard Practices Guide for Writing Experimental Operating Manuals (open access)

Standard Practices Guide for Writing Experimental Operating Manuals

This is a sample operating manual designed to aid experimenters in writing operating manuals for MTR and ETR experiments. It contains what is felt to be the necessary information for operating a particular experiment. One of the main functions of an operating manual is to provide quick reference to material needed in an emergency. It is believed this type of manual provides the required information without an excessive amount of bulky, surplus material.
