  • Lab Update - Run 76 in progress
    • Ladder calibration seems to work but produces some strange results:
      • at V_bias = -21 V, empirical NTL gain only 4.45 (implies 13.1 V)
      • at V_bias = -65 V, can't fit the spectra UNLESS high-width pulses are cut out. Then spectra fit with NTL gain only 7.5 (implies 25 V)
      • similar result for -84 V data
      • if this calibration is right, resolution is much worse than previously thought: noise sigma ~ 25 eVee
      • More work needed: data quality cuts, check rates for write efficiency, check efficiencies more carefully
    • NaI-coincident data
      • looking at -84V NaI-triggered data: SiHV spectrum not showing clear evidence of signal
      • above plot: 12 hours of data, cuts to remove high-width events and Am-source events (phi-delay cut) and selection for coincident timing window (PTOF_delay)
    • This weekend took similar data with PuBe source removed
