Zero volt 2-sided Si background data pulse analysis: Searching for the Americium

The following data is 2-sided Americium data with PBS2, PCS2, and PDS2 disabled triggering on PES1.

Failed zero-volt one-sided date can be found Here Original 50V work Here

Finding the Americium peaks in this set-up was quite easy, only requiring a randoms cut giving the following after calibrating PTOFamps to the 60 keV peak.

I then apply a cut in PTOF amps to pick each of the peaks, so far I have the 60 keV peak picked out. After I apply the cuts I plot for each available channel, the data including ONLY the 60 keV peak, and the data outside of the 60 keV peak the results are as follows:

For Side 1 data:

PA PB
PC PD
PE PF

For Side 2 data:

PA PE
PF

The next goal is to look at the Energy spread of these plots which can be found Here
