Subject: Calibration with alpha source - 0.9um mylar on Far S2 

On 28/11/2018:

After pulser walkthrough (see eLog entry #67)

Dismounted targets from ladder - see picture 1 and 2 for upstream and downstream sides respectively

Mounted alpha source on ladder - see pictures 3 and 4 for upstream and downstream sides respectively

New target ladder configuration is now:

Target Position Target
1 Blank 3mm
2 Blank 10mm
3 Nothing
4 Alpha-Source
5 Nothing
6 Nothing
7 Nothing

Dismounted thin CH2 target 50 - it was still attached to the collimator.

Remounted far S2 with 0.9um mylar, remounted far iris arm.

In air, pressures (mBar):

  • TPU1 > 1000
  • TPU2 > 1000
  • TPD1 = 170 (above range)
  • TPD2 = 73 (above range)
  • CHUP = Sensor Off
  • CHDW = No Sensor

Far S2 biased to -130.0V, leak I = 1.55uA. Diode biased to -70.1V, leak I = 0.01uA.

Ratemeter ~9200Hz.

Switched off detectors.

12:05 Ecodry 1 and 2 on. Started opening manual valve.

12:20 Manual valve opened fully, T1600 backing valve opened. Started turbos.

12:30 Pressures (mBar):

  • TPU1 = 3.0e-5
  • TPU2 = 5.1e-6
  • TPD1 = 5.1e-6
  • TPD2 = 7.5e-6
  • CHUP = Sensor Off
  • CHDW = No Sensor

Far S2 biased to -130.0V, leak I = 1.52uA. Diode biased to -70.1V, leak I = 0.01uA.

Rate meter ~ 7000Hz. Ladder set to position #4 - alpha source. Rate meter still ~ 7000Hz.

Run # 181128123940

  • Run time: 3428s
  • Pulser ON, as before
  • Alpha-source
  • S2 mylar: 0.9um
  • DT ~ 22%
  • See attached picture 5 for sample Far S2 front strip spectrum
