Agenda

  • Operations:
    • Run 61 (HV#2) status
      • G101c Tc's, Rn's measured, QET bias response studied
      • Have begun taking zero-bias data, not processed yet
      • Tower base around 34 mK, MC is the same, Cold plate is elevated around 220 mK, probably a touch
      • After drilling holes in ports, boiloff rate is better but still not as good as when pressure is released after a fill
      • Need to set up processing for 12-phonon-no-charge, 6-phonon-no-charge
      • DAQ upgrade planned
      • CAEN HV supply still needs to be set up for remote control, automation. At last check we could not communicate with it via ethernet
    • Run 61 planning…Draft Testing Plan
  • 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 again, she is starting to copy over data
    • 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
    • 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
    • Measuring low-energy comptons
      • use Y source and coincidence HPGe or NaI detector opposite to trigger, narrow energy window trigger, low-angle comptons
