|
Test with shielded HV cables for both detectors.
The FWHM for ch1 is now 184 ch.
Yesterday cables for cards 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16 were partially connected (only 1 out of 2 flat cables was in), now both are connected. |

|
The AIDA snout (with single DSSD and plastic) has been mounted in S4 cave again. DSSD was connected to the outer 4 FEEs again.
-160 V Bias applied and DSSD holds voltage with leakage current of around 1.3 uA (was dropping as only biased briefly)
Bias off and FEEs offline again now as day nearly done. MBS testing will be performed shortly, as well as resolution checks. |

On the 18th of September we installed DSSD 3208-14
Was found to have problems including exponential leakage behavior

Attachment1: AIDA05.1.8L when AIDA05 connected, biased at 100 V with not-shielded cables, CAEN HT, after the base of the snout (screws) has
been connected to the ground via cupper sheets
FWHM: 76 channels (to be compared with the 2 previous elogs 73 channels and 75 channels) |

24:00 Joined in with TD to debug the dropout of AIDA05 - See https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/DESPEC/193
After both powercycles and telnet reboots we were still seeing 0 in the statistics but did note that the counter was > 0
The last check we did was a restart of the merger server. This solved the issue.
