Rate spectra are consistent with these estimates, i.e. observe ~zero rate for p+n channels ( except hot channels ) and low ( ~100-200Hz rate per channel ) for n+n channels
p+n noise aida12, aida03, aida11 excellent

16.20 Install LK2 & LK4 aida12, aida03, aida11 ( front & rear field plate ground )
DSSSD over current ( 200uA @ c. 30V ) - high resistance short?
LK2 & LK4 installed aida12 *only* - OvC
LK2 & LK4 installed aida11 *only* - OvC
LK2 & LK4 installed aida3 *only* - OvC
LK2 installed aida3 *only* - OvC ( LK2 = rear field plate )
All front & rear field plate connections appear to provide a high resistance short to ground for detector bias. This may be related to issues observed biasing DSSSD via aida01 & aida09 - https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/AIDA/874
But why does it affect aida12 too? |

01:40 Phong noticed a significant difference in the noise in the (raw) low energy spectra a few of the FEEs when
comparing the runs right before and right after the power-cycle (See Attachment 12) required to recover
the DAQ crash last afternoon (June 5th).
NNAIDA 22, 21, 14, and 13 had a much higher count rate after the power cycle, and what seems like a lower
threshold. We can't observe the pulser peak in any of those.
NNAIDA 13 has the highest count rate, and the waveforms show what looks like noise with a regular
frequency (attachments 4 - 7)
For reference, we include the waveform of other positive FEEs 8-11

Despite the large amounts of noise in the detectors it is still possible to observe decay curves. They are
cleaned up a lot
by applying a multiplicity cut (attachment 22 with attachment 23 without. Further cuts and vetos could be
applied to clean up further.
The fit in attachment 22 gives a half life of 182ms which is not quite the expected 162ms but a reasonable
first fit.

1200: Update the FEE firmware on nnaida1-16 without problem.
Gone from file FEE_Oct12_27Nov13.bin ----> FEE_Riken_Apr14_24.bin
Included are a screen shot of the temperature window showing the new firmware versions and a stats screen.
12.15 Update MIDAS DAQ software
su
cp -r /MIDAS@aiidas /MIDAS@aidas.240214 ( /MIDAS is a link to /MIDAS@aidas )
exit
cd <update directory>
cp -r Data_Acq /MIDAS
cp -r Merger /MIDAS
cp -r TclHttpd /MIDAS
New versions of merge64.AD and master64 were installed in /MIDAS/Merger but the process crashed at startup
with multiple messages of the type:
MIDAS Data Link (12345) : Received SEGV signal; exiting.
(see attachment 3)
Is this related to the recent changes to the MIDAS TapeServer software to resolve problems with MIDAS Data
libraries libdataspy.so and libxfer.so ?
As a temporary workaround I have copied the backups of merge64.AD and master64 back to the install
directory /MIDAS/Merger. With the old verison of the merger we continue to obtain error messages
(see attachments 4-8)
