Looks a bit like the low energy noise observed in our previous runs with no/very few counts above what would be beam energy (~7.6 MeV)</p> <p>Note the xy plots are not all orientated correctly (strips are correct in the sort code but root axis need to be flipped - I can;t remember how atm). The part of the plots with counts are those closest to the beam. </p> <p>02:00 DAQ continues OK. System wide checks OK. Temps OK.</p> <p>Spectra still looks the same. I have noticed the right hand side rate is higher than the left. EyEx cut spectrum also looks like much more counts outside of the cut.</p> <p>03:40</p> <p>DAQ continues. All checks and temps OK.</p> <p>I can now see a small peak at 5 MeV in the bottom left dssd. This dssd also has the least number of counts in the low energy continuum.</p> <p>I have logged back into grafana on x2go to get the number ions in the ring.
