             aida01 1.8.L pulser peak width  85 ch FWHM ~  65keV FWHM => 5s threshold 138keV

             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
     for aida10, aida01 & aida09 good - can probably be improved to match aida12 etc

Conclusion 

BNC PB-5 significantly noisier than BNC PB-4. Results consistent with GSI tests https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/AIDA/886 , i.e. AIDA BNC PB-5 pulser at GSI *not* faulty.
BNC PB-5 operation with 10.0V/10x ( cf. 1.0V/x1 ) shows lower level of noise but still worse than BNC PB-4.

5mV transient at test input ( C_t = 0.7pF ) = 3.5fC = 80keV Si equivalent ( check 1V x 0.7pF = 0.7pC = 16MeV OK ).

Tests with the HV supply (CAEN N1419ET) and Pulse Generator ( BNC PB-5 ) in the detector lab on the crate behind the DEGAS detectors, carried out the 9th August 2023

Both modules were plugged

Test 1: pulse generetor on 2 Hz

- DC, 50 ohm - HV OFF - attachment 1

- DC, 50 ohm - HV OFF, Zoom on the noise - attachment 2

- DC, 50 ohm - HV 50 V, Zoom on the noise - attachment 3

 

Test 2: HV supply Channel 1 - CORE and 2 - BRAID, pulse generator still on

- AC 1 Mohm - HV OFF - attachment 4

- AC 1 Mohm - HV 50 V - attachment 5

No differences were observed between crate OFF, HV OFF and HV 50 V. An important periodic noise (green on the pictures) was observed and was significantly smaller when unpluging the HV module from the crate. The thickness of the baseline noise seems to be comparable to entry 882, attachment 33-35.
