Agenda

  • Operations:
    • Run 61 (HV#2, Ge) finished on Dec 20
    • Run 62 (HV#4, Si) status:
      • Setup
        • modified wirebonding on S101, 15/16 channels can be read out
        • installed bare Am source (smoke detector source from Matt P)
        • installed 4 external LEDs in addition to 2 internal ones
      • Electrical checks OK apart from some leaks to chassis in charge-related lines
      • No throughput at 77K, blockage. Will need to warm up to fix the blockage.
    • Processing and Analysis
      • Run 61, HV#2 (Ge)
        • Project goals:
          • Measure phonon collection efficiency
          • Characterize noise and resolution
          • Verify Luke gain
        • Necessary tasks to achieve these goals:
          • Complete IbIs studies to determine TES gains
        • Other goals:
          • Optimize processing and calibration
          • Characterize fiducialization power
      • Run 60, 6“ detector, analysis
      • Old items
        • need to get back to work on NSOF, should test whether resolution is improved with new filtering
        • Then work on reprocessing old data
  • Physics
    • Measuring low-energy comptons with 88Y, triggering with external detectors
    • Low-energy NR peaks from neutron capture in Ge, external trigger
  • DAQ and data pipe
    • DAQ upgrade - progress
    • Old/continuing items:
      • 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
