Thu Nov 3 14:02:49 2016, Nepal, J Ha, PV, Liu J, The degrader system has been set 
|
We used the laser to align the degrader (see attached photos)
According to the LISE calculation, equivalent effective thickness for 6 mm of Carbon target is 4.5 mm thick Aluminum.
Therefore, we've set the degrader system as follow: |

|
Expected Resolution:
------------------------------
G7 should be ~2.0 keV FWHM at 600 keV for all crystals. |

Today several tests (3) were done with the germanium detectors with the voltage configuration listed in the previous entry.
The tests were as follows:
Tests with 60Co+137Cs sources |
Mon Nov 7 06:55:01 2016, NTB, SG, HPGe Fill line to D4 replaced
|
HPGe fill line to D4 replaced only small leak (overflow) once Ge is full.
Solenoid was also wrapped to no effect. AIDA DAQ still stops writing.
Boron sheet and extra polyethylene were placed back on top. |

|
At least during the timeframe in between ~ 21:30 (11/08) - 23:30 (11/09) (161108_2323_717273Ni.root) we see that the silicon dE have a very low counting
rate. ~1Hz when the first AIDA detector sees ~600 Hz and a cumulative ~2kHz. The energy range in the dE stops at ~10MeV.
Edit: It appears the Si dE were removed. Some signals are still in the spectra. |

Collaborators,
Attached is a phone photo of example signals from the new preamps with 3 3He tubes connected to a scope. Scope channels 1,2,3 (color y,c,m respectively)
are preamp channels 1,2,3 while 4 (green) is open. Trigger is on channel 3, at 500mV/div and other channels are at 500,200,and 20 mV/Div for channels 2,1,4 |

Fri Oct 14 13:32:52 2016, NT BREWER, S Go, JM Allmond, Ge preamp power loss and solution.
|
As previously recorded (81), on Thur Oct 13th, A NIM crate failure caused preamp power loss to the HPGe's. While D4 recovered with nominally the
same resolution as before. G7 would not recieve power to the preamps without an alarm from the NIM crate.
It was determined that there was a short along the lines of +12V and Ground , -12V and Ground, and between +-12V. |

Setup:

1 MPOD + card with 8 possible inputs |
Wed Oct 25 19:14:09 2017, NB, First pass efficiency for current experiment
|
I roughly (~10%) checked the efficiency for 4 of the peaks from 171025_1222_1355_152EuCloverCal.root.
I checked the peaks at 122, 245, 344, and 1408. The indication is an efficiency of 6.9, 9, 9,8, and 2.6 % for these gamma rays
repectively. |
