| <p>JB has removed unnecessary cables and items from the snout and platform:</p>
<p>- the bPlast cables and booster boards were removed</p>
<p>- crate below the AIDA frame was disconnected from the power supply</p>
<p>- BB7 cables were removed</p>
<p>- power supply for the booster boards was removed</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We switch on the system and check the noise conditions.</p>
<p>We started up. BIAS OK. TEMPS OK.</p>
<p>Thresholds initially set to 100 keV.</p>
<p>Rates in all FEEs are > 200 kHZ. Attachment 6.</p>
<p>We then checked the pulser peak widths in aida14. --> 192 channels with 1 V 1x attenuation. at 700 keV threshold (attachment 3). At 100 keV threshold the peak width was significantly higher!!! ---> 385 channels (attachment 2)</p>
<p>We checked the rates in the FEEs with the 700 keV thresholds (attachment 11).</p>
<p>Furthermore, we checked the constant noise that appears to be present in the y FEEs aida02,04,06,08. This can be seen in attachment 8 and has been noted in previous elogs https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/DESPEC/727<br />

Info on current status of ion catcher: vacuum system is ON, electronics is also on (RF ~2MHz) on the side opposite to the DESPEC setup</p> |
