Shift Summary

Beam, target density and vacuum appear to have been stable overnight

FEE64 temperatures continue to cycle

Evidence of some radiation damage DSSSDD 0 presumably for most forward lab angle strips?

aida12 asic #1 and #2 high rate HEC activity - fixed by ASIC check load

DSSSD 0 aida01 1*L spectra, aida04 **L spectra

Double peak structure feature of aida04 ( n+n Ohmic side ) strips. Single ( albeit sometimes broad peak ) observed in aida01 ( p+n junction side ) strips.
Not currently observed by DSSSD 1-3. DSSSD 0 high energy peak rate far higher than DSSSD 1-3.

Data from last week did not display this double peak but DSSSDs and beam have been moved since.

Unclear whether this reflects radiation damage and/or wafer/active area edge effects on the n+n side.
Might also reflect beam characteristics throughout cycle.

Requires calibration and dE cut to investigate.

JM comment -> early time cut analysis indicates this is a beam effect. DSSD#0 has majority of halo on it so double peak is very pronounced. 
We observe double peak all DSSDs just to a much lower level.

Summary

All FEE64s appear to be working (except aida05 which has c. 8 missing channels) with pulser - which 
validates the FEE64, ASICs and adaptor PCB.

Electronic noise c. 50keV FWHM for aida01 & aida03 - other FEE64s better/worse.

Preamplifier noise appears to be similar for all FEE64s which may suggest an issue with the test signal chain

 DSSSD #2 spectrum is normal, DSSSD #1 and #3-4 display large multiplicities in p and/or n strips which are, presumably, non-physical events at DSSSD edge

For spectra below events must satisfy condition 0 < m_p < 8 *and* 0 < m_n < 8
