Agenda
- Operations:
- Run 61 (HV#2) status
- Noise and HV
- PHASE SEPARATION: pg 91-128 pyle thesis
- Performed a strong activation with the PuBe source for 3.5 hours. Taking data in 2-sided zero-bias mode.
- DAQ upgrade soon
- difficulties getting CAEN HV supply to work remotely from linux machines, giving up for now
- To do:
- Noah's suggestions, including more detailed complex impedance studies
- Further IbIs-type studies. Are the Rnormal measurements stable?
- More noise-versus-HV data
- Characterize “breakdown”
- Hunt for calibration lines:
- Analyze new, more activated data
- Maybe use Co-57 for 122 keV line
- Maybe use Compton coincidence with Y-source and external NaI detector
- 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
- Processing and Analysis
- Run 60, 6“ detector, analysis
- Comparison of UV and IR LEDs
- other items…
- 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
- Welcoming Gina and Jacob, new undergrads, to the crew
- 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
