Agenda

  • Operations:
    • 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
      • Blockages last week caused by unusually dirty mixture, after thorough cleaning things look ok
      • Slow tower cooling, to 67 mK first day, continuing to cool slowly. MC at 34 mK
      • Pulses seen. First attempt to measure Tc's failed for some reason, channels were apparently normal…
  • Processing and Analysis
    • Run 61, HV#2 (Ge) analysis goals:
      • Establish suitable pulse fitting method Pulse shapes
      • Measure relative calibration
      • Produce energy calibration
      • Measure resolution (ideal and actual)
      • Understand position reconstruction
      • Characterize fiducialization power
    • Phonon collection efficiency presentation from Tower Technical Meeting
    • Run 60, 6“ detector, analysis
    • NSOF work
  • 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
    • New DCRC RevC.2 arriving from Bruce in Denver
      • missing resistors on 3 QET channels, we'll need to get some and add them
    • DAQ upgrade - should ask Bruno about new IbIs tool
    • Old/continuing items:
      • Data storage and backup:
        • Need to copy all Run 60 and some Run 61 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:
        • currently autoprocessing suspended, no “official” processing for Runs 60, 61
        • clean up database - some info missing. Consider adding additional info
