Agenda

  • Operations:
    • Run 59 progress:
    • Run 59 (G106a) other tasks:
      • further HV tests: measure charge leakage, maybe see if presence of He films affects HV behavior
      • 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) - thinking about ending Run59 early enough to squeeze this in next
      • HV prototype tests for project
        • Now they want us to do two of these by end of year
        • Expected to get the first in September
        • We will want to build the second HV board to switch bias/readout polarity (Nick has ordered components)
    • 6" contact-free Si detector preparation
  • DAQ and data pipe
    • Data storage and backup:
      • Need to copy over new Run 59 data
      • Need to set up a system for copying incoming data
      • Need to clean up vuk1/vuk2 before they are retired
    • Code education: Nick has done some work to understand randoms selection for noise calculation
  • Processing and Analysis
    • Run 58 (USD1): Take another look in prep for R&D meeting
    • What should we plan to publish?
  • Things not working…
    • Update on IVC leak to bath
    • Working around the bad charge channel
      • fixed processing failure caused by noisy channel, also have been running with FETs off which reduces noise
  • Physics
    • Low-energy NR peaks from neutron capture in Ge
