Agenda

  • Operations:
    • Run 59 (G106a) plan:
      • second HV attempt
      • phonon collection efficiency versus mu-metal shield height. (Scheduled to report on this July 22)
      • 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:
      • electrically things look OK
      • found fridge blockage at 77 K on Saturday. Warmed up till it was gone then cooled again - another blockage on Thursday. Warming again….
    • Future runs:
      • 6“ contact-free (aka vacuum interface)
      • Only 4 weeks now until the Queen's visit, if Run 59 (G106a) ever begins it will certainly still be going 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, plan to compare to older data
    • Progress in NSOF development for reprocessing
    • What should we plan to publish?
  • Physics
    • Low-energy NR peaks from neutron capture in Ge
