Previous config file 24th-May-2017

After the 152Eu calibration, the threshold of 
>> V2A7C4 was increased from 20 to 30. 
>> V2A7C6 was increased from 30 to 40. 

AIDA veto plastic (40cm after the stack of DSSD) and 
the silicon detector (shielding hole) were calibrated 
with the Compton edge of 137Cs (891keV).

We started the synchronization monitoring programs to check that
it is OK as can be seen in the figure below

We are using the same scheme used during Ahn parasitic run,
namely the synchronization check signal is the BigRIPS trigger
signal send by them to us (AIDA, BRIKEN).

The monitorization procedure is different from the one used
in 2016. The description to lauch the processes is described
here below and in the attached PDF.

***********

To Launch the processes:

Open 4 terminals:

Terminal 1 (DataSink) type:

>ssh aida@d05

>cd /home/aida/DataPackage/DataSink/Linux64

>DataSink -i 3

Terminal 2 (SynCheck) type:

>ssh aida@d05

>cd /home/aida/SyncCheck

>./SynCheck

Terminal 3 (BigRIPS Data Relay) type:

>ssh aida@d05

>cd /home/aida/ribfts/ribftssender

>./ribftssender_mar17ca debug

(specific for current 40Ca parasitic run because we are not sending
a pulse signal to  BigRIPS as trigger but receiving triggers from
BigRIPS to create the pulses)

Terminal 4 (AIDA Data Relay) type:

>npg@aidas1
>DataRelayFilter -n 10.32.0.12 -p 10307 -I 2

"-I 2" selects ID 2 as the one for the AIDA data stream, 
which must correspond to the one expected by the DataSink in the d05 PC.
The programming transmitting the data from AIDA to the DataSink includes an 
intermediate filtering step. This selects only correlation scalers from one 
module (and possibly ADC values from one channel in that module).

Gasific MainWindow (Briken Data Relay):

   In the DAQ Control tab: Click "Start Sync Monitoring" button.

   In the pop up window set server ip and port (ip:10.32.0.12, port:10305)

By default this perform a check on the differences RIBF-BRIKEN and AIDA-BRIKEN.

In case that BRIKEN is not running, the option "SynCheck -M 1" check the differences 
AIDA-RIBF and BRIKEN-RIBF, while "SynCheck -M 2" checks RIBF-AIDA and BRIKEN-AIDA

To synchronize:

   In the Gasific MainWindow, DAQ Control tab: Click "Send Sync Pulse" button

COMMENTS:

1. Source centered in both BRIKEN and clovers
2. No AIDA in
3. D4 clover pulsers are at 253, 260, 265, and 271 keV
4. G7 clover pulsers are beyond 5 MeV. No pulser for crystal G7Green

Background, No AIDA

The time stamp was reset finally (at the third try !!!)

There is a file 170525_2154_252Cf_z0cm_007.dlt which was taken for a short time, until we noticed again that the
time stamp was not reset.

We realized that the time stamp was not reset.

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

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 

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.

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 :-(
