Agenda

  • Operations
    • Run 62 (HV#4, Si) status:
      • Cryo is stable, Tower at 33.5 mK
      • DCRC flatlining problem still present, only using two DCRCs
      • Much improved IbIs data this run but unfortunately it is still not very stable, continuing to investigate
      • HV scans performed and repeated, interesting charge leakage versus HV results
      • Calibration:
        • Lines from Am source have not been seen yet. Took data overnight Monday and Ba data overnight Tuesday, will compare
        • Maybe will need to borrow the Co source for more calibration tests
        • Need calibration lines to e.g. verify/investigate IbIs prefactors, calculate phonon collection efficiency, verify Luke gain, and higher-level energy&position reconstruction studies
    • Future 6“ run (1”-thick 5Q device)
      • housing with 3 DIBs sent to TAMU
      • investigating side coax options
      • design work on source holder
  • Lab infrastructure
  • Processing and Analysis
  • Physics
    • low-energy Comptons and n,gamma calibrations with external triggering
  • DAQ and data pipe
    • 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
      • Possible plan to modify DCRCs (resistor swap) so we can increase front-end gain, improve IbIs (suggestion from Bruno)
      • Run 60, 6“ detector analysis - is there more work to do?
      • IF new DCRC RevC.2 arriving from Bruce in Denver then
        • missing resistors on 3 QET channels, we've ordered some
