G106a iZIP 100mm analysis plans

We've been working with G106a for quite some time now, it is a 100mm 12-phonon-channel iZIP. Only recently has the lab team gotten great noise performance and the ability to separate neutrons. Because of this there are several good analyses we can do:

1.  surface-source background rejection
2.  photoneutron energy scale
3.  MISS event quantification

There are generic things we have to do for all analyses and also things that are specifically important to the named analyses. We want to track these tasks a bit.

generic

We always need to see if our phonon or charge channels are behaving correctly. This section is related to that.
