Agenda

  • Operations:
    • Run 59 progress:
      • Another slow cooldown to base. This run and Run 58, the two runs using the Soudan tower. (Why would this be different?)
    • 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.
    • Future runs:
      • 6“ contact-free (aka vacuum interface)
      • Queen's visit in 2 weeks, Run 59 (G106a) will be in progress
      • Sidewall source ?
      • Theoretically, Ge-iZIP prototype detector arrives from TAMU in October September. Supposed to test this and Ge-HV prototype before CD2 early next year.
    • HPGe configuration (purpose is for neutron capture/recoil study, want to trigger iZIP on HPGe gammas)
  • 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): Finally found some peaks, poor charge collection efficiency
    • Progress in NSOF development for reprocessing
    • What should we plan to publish?
  • Physics
    • Low-energy NR peaks from neutron capture in Ge
