Agenda

  • Operations
    • Run 62 (HV#4, Si) status:
      • Tower down to 34 mK
      • DCRC problems:
        • Denver DCRC still MIA
        • Sten is checking DCRC4 (aka DCRCX), unable to reproduce flatline problem. But he will repair a non-functioning charge channel
        • DCRC3 (aka DCRC50) has been flatlining. But see below…
        • Nick discovered that swapping ODB settings between DCRCs seems to swap flatlining problem. Problem occurs only after dcrc_driver program started. Still investigating differences in settings.
      • Currently we think only 2 of the connected channels aren't working
      • Taking detailed IbIs data on all functioning channels
      • Should start taking data soon, try to verify dP/dI calculations and phonon collection efficiency measurement
      • Should then start testing in HV mode, take HV data
      • Possible plan to modify DCRCs (resistor swap) so we can increase front-end gain, improve IbIs (suggestion from Bruno)
    • Future 6“ runs planning
      • attempted warm tests of injected pulses from tower to stripline to DCRC
  • Processing and Analysis
    • Run 61, HV#2 (Ge) analysis:
      • should continue to refine phonon collection efficiency estimate (original synopsis)
      • continuing work on fitting and calibrating
    • Run 60, 6“ detector analysis - is this more work to do?
    • NSOF work for G106a iZIPv6 data
  • Physics
    • low-energy Comptons and n,gamma calibrations with external triggering
  • DAQ and data pipe
    • IF new DCRC RevC.2 arriving from Bruce in Denver then
      • missing resistors on 3 QET channels, we've ordered some
    • 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
