G7 pulser weird behavior

Comment: V2A8C9 contains now the 10Hz clock signal coming from
the same section of the clock where the 100Hz sync signal is extracted.
It will be there even if we inhibit the pulser signals to the preamps

SYNC pulser is 200Hz because 
the gate generator produces double peaks from the 100Hz clock

v1a6c13-16 had a configuration error (Trigger window to  short) 
It's corrected at 14:55 (2018/10/30) on file 181030_Conf_BrikenFull_LowThrAdj_masterCLK.xlsx .

Beam tuning in BigRIPS

At 19:00 access to Exp. Area was closed and the tuning
of BigRips started.

Unfortunately the 252Cf was left on the table close
to the stairs and cannot be removed until 23:00.

We did a background measurement
Start: 19:00
Stop: 22:18

File: 161104_2218_BeamTuning.root

In the attached figure 1 one can see a plot of the rate
(neutrons/10s) in the BRIKEN detector during this time
The rate was at high as 150n/s during this period.
We estimate that the influence of the 252Cf source is about 15n/s
(corresponds to the lowest rates)

Also attached are pictures of the Top and Bottom plastic veto detectors
mounted just above and below the hole in the shielding.
Interestingly the bottom sees less counts at high energy
and this could be related to the 10cm lead wall raised
before the degrader to protect AIDA that covers only partially 
the top detector.

Also attached is the neutron spectrum for the different rings superposed.

See attached figure.
We see that low amplitude noise overlaps with the neutron spectrum.
We also see the grass-like background which extends all the way
up to the ADC range.

We connect the pulser to both CLOVERs

G7: It looks OK except for the G7-Green as before
(there pulser peak in the spectrum)

D4: the pulser peak appears at very low energies (200-600keV)
there seems to be a problem with pulser processing in the preamplifiers.
Should we still use it? We remove for the moment.


152Eu source calibration.

We put the 152Eu source at the center (on the cardboard)
and check de energy calibration. For most of the crystals
the calibration from March was pretty good except for D4-Red
that the gain changed by a factor 1/2 and D4-blue that changed by 2 (!?)

We redo the calibration:
G7: the resolution at 1.4MeV is 2.7keV
D4: the resolution at 1.4MeV is 3.9keV

We plugged the pulser in clover D4.
