Agenda

  • Operations:
    • Run 59 (G106a) plan:
      • second HV attempt
      • phonon collection efficiency versus mu-metal shield height.
      • more data for position reconstruction studies - multiple Am sources in different positions
      • Possibly test DCRC RevD with adapter board from UCB.
      • May want to study phonon noise more.
    • Run 59 prep:
      • side coax situation: now have four iZIP-tower position-1 side coaxes. Our only matched set of 3 or more
      • stripline breaks:
        • Break in the DIB3 stripline, which presents a problem with fitting two rerouting boards on SQUETS on adjacent faces
        • may be able to run with all three rerouting boards, trying this
        • other option is to swap out to new striplines
        • plagued with breaks this run, four so far and more seem to be appearing
    • Future runs:
      • 6“ contact-free (aka vacuum interface)
      • Only 5 weeks now until the Queen's visit, extend Run 59 (G106a) until then?
      • Sidewall source ?
      • Theoretically, Ge-iZIP prototype test in October.
  • DAQ and data pipe
    • Data storage and backup:
      • Still need to back up Run 58 to SLAC
      • Need to set up a system for copying incoming data
    • Code education: should try to find time to continue studying this (Matt, David?, Nick?, Allison?)
  • Processing and Analysis
    • Run 58 (USD1): investigate lack of peaks, alternatives for studying charge collection efficiency
    • Progress in NSOF development for reprocessing: Note
    • What should we plan to publish?
  • Physics
    • Low-energy NR peaks from neutron capture in Ge
      • testing DCRCs for external triggering (e.g. HPGe)
