Agenda

  • Operations
    • Run 62 (HV#4, Si) post-mortem: two “bad” channels seem not to be wiring problems, maybe the problem is on the detector (photos)
    • Run 63 (G132, Ge iZIP "pathfinder") about to begin
      • Detector electrical checkout looks good
      • Charge channel wirebonds repaired on all three side coaxes. Also SQUET charge channels checked, look OK
      • Pb-210 and Am-241 sources installed.
      • LEDs installed: two on DIB1, three external standard 940 nm, and on 1650 nm from Queen's.
    • Future 6“ run (1”-thick 5Q device). Detector now at UMN, needs to be wirebonded
    • Continued K100 support through both Project and Operations - assume no SNOLAB upgrade
      • exploring ideas for improvements without upgrade: float DCRCs for symmetric biasing Proposed Scheme, decrease Rshunt in SQUETs
  • Processing and Analysis
  • Physics
    • low-energy Comptons and n,gamma calibrations with external triggering
  • Old/continuing items:
    • Run 60, 6“ detector paper - Plan to edit and publish without 5Q data
    • Lab infrastructure
    • DAQ and data pipe
      • DAQ upgrade - discussed with Bruno about IbIs tool development
      • Data storage and backup:
        • Need to copy all Run 60 and some Run 61 data to SLAC
      • Autoprocessing and data organization development:
        • currently autoprocessing suspended, no “official” processing for Runs 60, 61, 62
        • 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)
    • IF (not likely) new DCRC RevC.2 arriving from Bruce in Denver then
      • missing resistors on 3 QET channels, we've ordered some
