Calibration of clovers
  300   Thu May 25 13:38:11 2017 AT, PC, KR, JLT, AAClover, detectors in new position
Both clover detectors were moved. They are in a symmetrical position. The end on the clover nose is of the order
of 3-4 mm from the AIDA tunnel.

See sketch of CLOVERS with respect to beam.

See photos of the insertion distance of
both CLOVERS

60Co source 

Source ID: CD395
same type as 133Ba source


Start: 20:57
Stop:21:18


Position: z=0 cm, No AIDA
Pulser connected

There was an small file (dlt) before this run with no pulser connected (170525_2054_60Co_z0cm_004.dlt), 
that run for only 3-4 min.

170525_2057_2118_60Co_z0cm_pulser.root

Comment: we noticed that the two clovers had different statistics for the 1332 peak. To be checked why
(source not in place ?)
The pulser shows similar counts, so the reason can not be deadtime

Answer: the D4 was not in its right position !!!!, efficiency calibrations have to be repeated :-(
  297   Thu May 25 12:49:55 2017 AT, JLT,PC,AAClover, 133Ba, LN2 filling
We started the measurement of the source when the N2 filling started. Just to  check if there are funny things
related to the filling.

Start: 18:45
Stop: 20:48

The source was in position z=0 cmm (no AIDA)

D4: 2.9 1keV @ 1461.8 keV
G7: 2.98 keV @ 1460.0 keV
  406   Mon Nov 5 06:46:30 2018 KR, YR, MW, JLT, ...Clover check
With detectors still on the floor we check signals and found
that D4 gives no signal with PA power.  Two power supplies/cables were checked.
The detector was still working just before Jungclaus experiment. In July it was working.

Temperature monitors OK: 76-80 units

We mount both CLovers in position and make all connections.


We apply HV and check the resolution of G7.

As can be  seen in the attached figure the calibration used last year
is still pretty good

  340   Sun Oct 22 05:15:26 2017 RG,RY,MS,ATD,JA,JLTCheck of YSO
We start a systematic check of YSO in BRIKEN DACQ

WE check and correct a configuration file for YSO alone
Conf file: 171022_1306_YSO_Conf.xlsx

First measurement: 
change the light pulser attenuation and check 
changes of X and Y position
Root file: 171022_1314_pulserAtCenter.root

We change configuration file to remove amplitude 
range condition to buil position
New configuration file:171022_1332_YSO_Conf.xlsx

Now start moving the light pulser position using a mask:

Light pulse position: Top Left Out
Root file: 171022_1335_pulseTopLeftOut.root

Light pulse position: Bottom Left Out
Root file: 171022_1341_pulseBottomLeftOut.root

Light pulse position: Bottom Right Out
Root file: 171022_1345_pulseBottomRightOut.root

Light pulse position: Top Right Out
Root file:171022_1350_pulseTopRightOut.root

Light pulse position: Top Left In
Root file: 171022_1401_pulseTopLetIn.root

Light pulse position: Bottom Left In
Root file: 171022_1406_pulseBottomLeftIn.root

Light pulse position: Bottom Right In
Root file: 171022_1410_pulseBottomRightIn.root

Light pulse position: Top Right In
Root file: 171022_1416_pulseTopRightIn.root

Now we ramp the PMT high voltage starting at 600V: 
600V, 650V, 700V, 750V, 800V, 900V, 950V, 1000V, 1050V, 1100V, 1150V
Pulser at Top Left Out

For EURICA measurements degrader thickness were increased
trying to decrease MACI and AIDA trigger rate
Before we had 5.7 mm of Al
Now we have: 
Degrader: 4.0 + 1.0 + 0.6 + 0.4 +0.3 = 6.3 mm of Al
also 2x 0.8mm Al plates were added before 
the MACI start detector (thus covering partially AIDA)
Trigger from AIDA will be taken from 3rd DSSSD

  332   Fri Oct 20 05:33:11 2017 KR, NB, SG, RY, JL, AT: Calibration and Resolution of D4 (after Repair)

Green and Red channels were repaired by crimping and securing the grounding of the cables and fixing the cables securely to the table. 

All problems during the repair process were visible on the scope. See example attatched. 

Calibration is as:

Edit(10-21): NB realized calibration was not performed on the raw spectra, but on the previously calibrated ones. These values are wrong!

  299   Thu May 25 13:24:02 2017 AT,PC,KR,JLT,AACLOVER, detector not in its rigth position
We have noticed that D4 is not in its right position. That explains the different number of counts in the
detectors. 
Probably of the order of 3 cm away from its nominal place.
The position of the other detector should be also checked.
Efficiency calibrations need to be repeated

Ps. See that the pulser generates peaks in the region 250-270 keV (to avoid people to invent new levels (and
gammas) populated 
in the beta decay of 133Ba).
