Agenda

  • Operations:
    • Run 61 (HV#2) status
      • Still have not gotten processing working
        • trying to modify cdmsbats correctly
        • may get impatient and start kludge processing
      • First HV results are promising, low current draw, pulses strong, no breakdown up to +/-30 V
      • status of DAQ upgrade?
      • still need to get CAEN HV supply communications working again
    • Run 61 planning…Draft Testing Plan
      • explore complex impedance techniques to characterize TESs
  • 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. Need to ask Angie again when she will finish copying 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 for potential outside manpower
      • does it make sense for outside manpower to help with this stuff?
  • Processing and Analysis
    • Run 60, 6“ detector, analysis
      • Alternative amplitude algorithms progress
      • Work on Geant simA graph
    • need to get back to work on NSOF, should test whether resolution is improved with new filtering
    • Then work on reprocessing old data
  • Lab infrastructure
    • Dealing with David's departure
  • 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 png
      • tests done in lab to measure gammas with NaI detector and use it to trigger the CDMS detector
