Agenda

  • Operations:
    • Run 59 progress:
    • Run 59 (G106a) tasks:
      • complete mu-metal shield tests
      • second HV attempt
      • 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) - scheduling will be challenging
      • Sidewall source ?
      • Theoretically, Ge-HV prototype detector arrives from SLAC in September. Supposed to test this and Ge-iZIP prototype before CD2 early next year.
  • 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
      • Need to clean up vuk1/vuk2 before they are retired
    • Code education: Nick and Allison are learning about processing code. Matt&David should work on this too
  • Processing and Analysis
    • Run 58 (USD1): Need to follow up a bit on this
    • What should we plan to publish?
  • Things not working…
    • Seems to be a leak from IVC to bath. Builds up over time - maybe can deal with this by warming to 4K and pumping out periodically
    • One bad charge channel, could be a significant problem
  • Physics
    • Low-energy NR peaks from neutron capture in Ge
