Syncronization terminals on screenshots to compare with previous run. Due to the updates on each terminal are not with the same frequency it is hard to observe in the screenshots, but on live seems to be constant.

- We should increase the gain of F11 plastic (now a bit to small)
say by a factor of 2. Calibration is probably wrong!?

Test of individual 3He tubes

The tests were done using the ATOMKI MCA and
HV: ISEG NH204M
Preamp: Mesytec MHV-16 (Unipolar IFIC) 
Amp: ORTEC671 (Gain=5x0.5,SHP=6us)
Pulser: 10Hz-Clock + TC410A G&DG + BH-1 (tr=1us,tf=1ms,amp=0.7)
Spectra measured with 1024 channels
Counting time:   100s (UPC, RIKEN and ORNL 1")
                 120s (ORNL 2")
Neutron source:   252Cf
PE setup: 1 inches tubes were tested on the BELEN-20 PE matrix, while for 2 inches tubes a moderator was prepared 
using existing material (see attached figures). 

Attached a figure with a sample spectrum for each tube type
and a  compressed file with all the measured spectra in ASCII format.

All the tubes performed correctly. The neutron signal is well separated from the noise. 
The RIKEN tubes have the highest gain. Gain in the UPC tubes is the lowest.

Adjustment of HV and PA gain

We adjust the HV for each tube type and the gain of the preamplifier (PA) in order
to have a similar signal amplitude for the 764keV peak in all of them.
Because of the very different gain between tubes we are not able to combine in the same
PA tubes from RIKEN and UPC, thus we have to go for 10 PA instead of 9:

Settings: Preamp (type), Tube type, HV, Gain, height or 764keV pulse, pulse polarity
PA1 (D), RIKEN, 1450V, LowGain, ~400mV, POS
PA2 (D), RIKEN, 1450V, LowGain, ~400mV, POS
PA3 (D), UPC, 1550V, HighGain, ~400mV, POS
PA4 (D), UPC, 1550V, HighGain, ~400mV, POS
PA5 (U), UPC, 1550V, HighGain, ~600mV, NEG
PA6 (U), ORNL1, 1200V, LowGain, ~400mV, NEG
PA7 (U), ORNL2, 1750V, LowGain, ~400mV, NEG
PA8 (U), ORNL2, 1750V, LowGain, ~400mV, NEG
PA9 (U), ORNL2, 1750V, LowGain, ~400mV, NEG
PA10 (U), ORNL2, 1750V, LowGain, ~400mV, NEG
 
We need  to use two different pulse generators to adjust differently the pulse height
of UPC tubes
