Agenda
- Operations:
- Run 60, 6“ detector test, now finished
- Run 61, first HV prototype test, in preparation
- HV#2 (G101c) arrived Monday, some problems:
- one broken bond
- wiring not what we asked for, would require rerouting for HV
- no LEDs on the DIBs
- solutions:
- fix bonds and changed wiring scheme to what we want
- LEDs mounted in source holder, plan to wire them to pins on side coax extenders
- Other preparations:
- Fridge cans completely disassembled, taking opportunity to clean thermal contact surfaces and tighten MC bolts some more
- Need to set up processing for 12-phonon-no-charge, 6-phonon-no-charge
- DAQ upgrade planned
- CAEN HV supply (from Soudan vetoshield) - progress on setting this up, hoping for automated HV control
- DAQ and data pipe
- Data storage and backup:
- Need to copy Run 60 data to SLAC
- Need to clean up vuk1/vuk2 before they are retired. Spoke with Angie, she said she can copy what she needs
- 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
- Run 60, 6” detector, analysis
- Mysterious bimodal behavior in OF amplitudes, related to mysterious glitches in raw pulses (also bimodal)
- Considering other pulsefitting methods
- should also investigate glitches further, seem to be in the DCRC firmware
- Then need to proceed with seagull studies, hold time studies etc.
- need to get back to 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
