We looked at the overnight background run (161105_0935_BackgroundOvernight.root), There are gamma-peaks that could be related to neutron inerastic scattering. We identified 565, 596, 608 and 69 keV. They might be related to the effect of neutrons. If this is the correct assignment, this would mean at least some of the neutrons are not thermal when they interact with the germanium. 

There was also significant drift in the Ge gain (seen on the pulser) this may effect the shape of these peaks. 

Some gain drift was also seen on He preamps during this run. The cause is yet to be determined. It is also yet to be determined if these gain shifts are correlated.

  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

measurement of 137Cs with YSO 
after matching the gains of the 
HighGain channels


YSO detector was inside the black box, outside the matrix. 
The source was placed in front of the YSO

First measurement
Start: 15:14
End: 16:55
RootFile: 171023_1655_137CsYSO.root

Second measurement (same conditions )
Start: 16:55
Run number: 070
End:   17:41

RootFile: 171023_1655_1741_137CsYSO_070.root

The 137Cs source is weak; the rate of the YSO detector was about 50Hz (without source is 10Hz).

light pulser measurement
SN's pulse generator 20ns width
  348   Wed Oct 25 01:02:14 2017 RGStatus of the YSO array

The presently used detector has 48x48x5 mm3 YSO array with 1x1mm2 segments. They are separated with ESR.  We use H8500 pspmt and 2 mm quartz diffuser with rough edges. Coupling is done with sylgard.  Anger logic uses a conventional resistive network with 1kohm and we have 4 position signals and dynode.  The position signals (xa,xb,ya,yb) are split in Low gain branch connected directly to 5V range input in Struck and High gain branch, which uses Phillips fast amplifier to boost the gain. The use of the amplifiers enables to operate the detector at low PSPMT gain and should give us a chance to work with the strong light produced by the implant.  The implant signals were simulated using blue diode and a pulse generator. We observed significant drift of the position for very large pulses, but this was for now attributed to be the pulse shape effect due to the use of the diode and reltively slow pulser.

YSO for now should run at -700 V.  The maximum operating voltage is 1200V and should not be exceeded. At 1200 V the ions induced signals may saturate our electronics.

Tuesday evening:

Detector remounted in the pedestal and aligned with WASABI with 1mm+1.5mm spacers. The pedestal is 25.8 mm tall and the box is 60 mm tall.  We checked also the orientation of the spectra and chose AIDA convention (look upstream). With this pedestal the front of the box is centered with the back of the clover leaf.

Wednestay morning:

I opened the detector and rewrapped it with new teflon tape. I noticed a small piece if sylgard peeled off, which may explain why the we had some edge effect yesterday. The detector was remounted on the new pedestal which will allow it to be positioned at the center of the clover.  The signals looked OK on the oscilloscope.
