Agenda

  • Operations:
    • Run 60, 6“ detector test
      • Bias sweep data (seagull)
      • 122 keV peak from 57Co source
      • Microphonic noise issues (noise PSDs)
      • DCRC problems, setting thresholds for charge triggering doesn't seem to always work correctly (two signal modes?)
      • Run is about to end…
    • Next run: first HV prototype test
      • HV#2 (G101c) is due to arrive ~Tuesday. Would like fridge to be at room temperature Monday morning.
      • Wirebonding scheme, may not be able to access all side 2 phonon channels
      • Preparations:
        • Need to set up processing for 12-phonon-no-charge, 6-phonon-no-charge
        • CAEN HV supply (from Soudan vetoshield) - hopefully can set up for automatic HV setting
  • DAQ and data pipe
    • Data storage and backup:
      • Need to copy new raw data to SLAC
      • Need to clean up vuk1/vuk2 before they are retired. Emailed Angie over a week ago, no response yet
    • Autoprocessing and data organization development:
      • should work on implementing smart processing so that data with different configurations can be processed automatically
      • should add more info to database, particularly since outside analysis manpower (TAMU, Noah) will be joining our analysis crew
      • does it make sense for outside manpower to help with this stuff?
  • Processing and Analysis
    • work on NSOF, should test whether resolution is improved with new filtering
    • Then work on reprocessing old data
  • Physics
    • Low-energy NR peaks from neutron capture in Ge
      • have done some tests with the 1 Ci PuBe source in lab, looking for capture gammas with NaI and HPGe
