395	Fri Feb 11 12:09:24 2022	NH	Fri 11 Feb AIDA Work
Use beam break between FRS experiments to finalise getting AIDA testable for PJCS etc. USB hubs reconnected - all 16 ttyUSBs seem to be visible now New inverter installed (Ortec 533 Sum Invert, brand new) - Pulser T connected to input B1 and inverted out B sent to -ve FEEs VME crate for VETAR2 is powered on so White Rabbit should be available All grounds reconnected on FEEs All FEEs connected to pulser chain again - Moved interlock to new Al shelf on AIDA rack so it's not kicked Powered on OK, all 4 lights on in box but AIDA Relay had to water light Investigation shows the cable between relay and interlock was broken, one wire had come loose from connector Resoldered and now it works as usual System powered up OK All 16 FEEs respond to serial All 16 FEEs have WR All 16 FEEs show pulser ADC entries Seems good!

Probe PSU output with 'scope again and 10X probe Use a AC mains scope as was available, means referenced to ground of AC, but should be ground of platform (and hence Fee64) Figs 1-3: Traces of PSU outputs (5V, -6V, 5V Return) with 10X probe, 1 MOhm impedance AC coupled Lots of fluctuation and jitter Figs 4-6: DC 1MOhm output from all 3 power rails Fig 7-8: Small "loop" using probe and observed scope spectra. After lunch ideas: - Try again with 1X probe attenuation, maybe record output to USB - Remove unconnected MACBs from master -

397	Tue Mar 1 08:29:19 2022	OH, NH	Findings from the upgrade to centos7 from SL6
Required packages not included as default csh (For running MIDAS scripts) xinetd (Runs the rdate server for the FEEs) Telnet (Communication with the FEEs) dhcp Configuration changes FEEs uses NFS2 which is no longer enabled by default Must edit config in /etc/nfs.conf to uncomment the following lines: [nfsd] vers2=y /etc/xinetd.d/time-stream must be edited by uncommenting disable = no Many services such as xinetd and dhcp will not automatically start at startup following a restart of the system To enable this must enter `systemctl enable dhcpd` or `systemctl enable xinetd` Likewise can check status with `systemctl status $SERVICE_NAME` Also need to check the firewall status of the ethernet port connected to the FEEs. Easiest solution is to set the port to be trusted Optional extras For top bar icons similar to SL6 can use the gnome extension "Frippery panel favorites" Then just need to create desktop icons for each of the startup scripts within /usr/share/applications - Attachment 1 Can also add screenshot to this - Attachment 2 Gnome tweaks also allows the number of workspaces to be changed Also recommend setting workspaces to span displays

It is possible to get good rates with the fast discriminators with a few hot channels mask in aida03 and aida10 Threshold is 0x20 = 3.2 MeV They can be tested in beam to see performance, especially note the first setting will involve alpha emitters to check in AIDA All FEEs: AS01 01, AS3 07 10 13 are masked aida03: AS0 12 and 14 are masked in addition aida10: AS1 10, 11 and AS2 05, 06 are masked in addiction

388	Thu Oct 21 16:18:51 2021	OH	FEE and Adaptor board groundings
During investigations into the noise today by NH and OH a couple of findings were made on the grounding of the FEEs and Adaptor boards. - The adaptor boards have no connection to the FEE ground over the ERNI connector - Currently we are providing one via a ground cable between the FEE Al cooling and the Lemo ground on the adaptor board - The Al cooling plate is not electrically isolated from the copper plate on the ASIC and both are connected to the electrical ground on the FEE - Verified with 0 resistance between plate and HDMI ground shield - The FEE is electrically isolated from the frame but when cabling is connected they show 0 resistance - With electrics disconnected but water still connected they show 200kOhm - With the bias core going to FEE14 and the braid going to FEE8 better performance in FEE14 is obtained by disconnecting FEE8 adaptor board from the ground - The cost of this is the rate of FEE8 goes up to 300k - It is essential to have the adaptor board ground on the FEE ground but unsure why having both adaptor boards connected to their respective grounds makes one worse - The resistance between all FEEs is not zero. Some show a 5Ohm and some show a 35Ohm resistance between each other

Some show a 5Ohm and some show a 35Ohm resistance between each other > The adapter boards have ERNI ground pins, and the FEE64 has a grounded plane on its ERNI connector, unfortunately the orientation means the ground pins do not touch the plane on the FEE64 and hence no contact is made Would require installing board "upside down" but then the ASIC connections would be wrong. A new adapter board layout would be necessary to correct this Tomorrow will investigate direct connection of all FEE64s to mechanical ground via dedicated copper cable. Currently FEE64s get ground via Pulser(->NIM) ((weak ground)), HDMI(->NIM) ((possibly?)) and Power(->PSU) (primary grounding) HV Bias is floating at NIM side and so does not provide ground path (intentional) TD may have ideas to isolate pulser from AIDA FEE ground Unsure if HDMI ground is a problem The ground quality via the power may not be ideal over long cables of relatively thin wire. (5 * 20 AWG) and then unsure how ground of PSU connects to mechanical ground Explicit grounding may help keep resistance between FEEs < 1 Ohm. Will also mount a DSSD and see situation without pulser, with/without mechanical grounding and maybe with various LK jumpers.

All 12 FEEs powered up, and temperatures are OK. Passed ASIC checks and system wide checks - now checking cabling and to mount snout.

275	Sat Apr 24 05:17:51 2021	ML	End of beam
Beam has now stopped (end of expriment) and background measurements starts.
156	Mon Mar 16 07:25:24 2020	NH	End of Experiment
08:25 Beam Stopped, end of S480 Tape Server stopped at R12_2097 Started again in no storage mode Will leave compressing runs
34	Fri Mar 22 15:44:20 2019	NH	End of 22.03.2019
End of the day - Detector unbiased and FEE64s turned off for the weekend as they won't be monitored. Water will remain on.
541	Tue Mar 19 10:17:30 2024	NH	Dry Run 2024 - 19th March 24
AIDA has 8 FEEs and 1 DSSSD Aida08 (HDMI#12) had no WR again, I moved it to a different MACB and now it gets WR The MACB (currently with jsut HDMI#10) seems issues, check/replace the upstream HDMI and thent eh MACB (after dry run!) DSSSD#1 biased to -120 V, leakage current 5.6 uA (fig 1) (also on Grafana) Temps OK fig2 System Checks (fig3-5) Clocks OK aida07 fails calibration, others OK WR OK (aida04 0x10, seems OK) FPGA OK Did "Synchronise ASIC clocks" to align ASIC clocks (Notes for scalers: SC41L HDMI 5, SCI41R HDMI 9) 18:12 FRS is taking beam, AIDA is powered off and unbiased

719	Mon Oct 13 15:04:53 2025	JPB, NH, GB, MP	Dismount AIDA and realign the cables
We have dismounted the AIDA stack and bPlast and realigned the cables so that they can fit into the adaptors. The plan for the next couple days is the following: - Alignment -- done - Remount cable -- ongoing - Fix position w/o bPlast mounted -- - Remount bracket for the last stage -- - Remount AIDA 1 & 2 and the 207Bi source with the source holder -- - Mount the snout and take data -- The tests we want to perform are the following: - Energy distribution in x and y for ADC items and cluster - The cluster size from conversion electrons - ADC offsets with the 207Bi source after performing a pulser walkthrough - Threshold test /w a 207Bi source - varying the threshold as while the source is in place and seeing when the 207Bi peaks are cut off. - Background run without the 207Bi source (after the above tests) - Possible test with a 152Eu source as well to measure conversion electrons from Eu could also be an option but we would need to discuss how to do this since all the 152Eu source are closed. We could possibly measure the compton edge from this data.
