CA, DK, NH | Dec 5 Night Shift |
15:30
TD found the merger was running at ~43 Mb/s
The odd-numbered FEE64s all had significant (>200k) disk rates
ALL LEC/MEC fast discriminators and increased slow comparator from 0xa to 0x14
Merger rate dropped to a more nominal value like 2.3 Mb/s
Settings not saved
40Ar beam 300 MeV/u expected, but SIS problem at the moment.
23:00
Leak currents are stable as previously (20-21 Nov) and entered to Google spreadsheet
S4 vault is closed.
Presently AIDA is running without tape storage
System wide checks:
Master clock / aida01 sync reports error as expected;
All white rabbit decoders fail, but they are just off by 1 bit (no problem)
Everything else okay.
Stats look okay, but keep in mind above discriminator threshold -- see attachment 1
Temperatures fine -- see attachment 2
MBS looks okay -- we see a possible hint for the 1 bit difference with an "unexpected data word" -- see attachment 3
Data rate is 1.7 Mb/s, merger okay -- see attachment 4
23:30
Now we wait for the beam
00:05
Attachments 5-11: results of system wide checks after collecting sync errors and WR errors from baseline - all ok
00:25
Histograms zeroed at 00:25.

aida12 - 149
2:00
40Ar beam tuning is finished. Intensity at S4 is about 3 kHz per spill. 1 spill per / 10 seconds
MBS system cannot be used for online merging tonight, because NeuLAND group left their connection open
We can merge offline using the White Rabbit timestamps
Remove the beam blocking steel flange from in front of AIDA et al.
Writing to file Dec19/R1
03.20 Rate, Stat, 1.8.L, 1.8.H, 1.8.W spectra - attachments 13-20
Observe
light ions in 1.8.L spectra
low energy (<1.5GeV) heavy ions in 1.8.H spectra with most heavy ions stopping in DSSSDs 1 & 2
Stat hit patterns indicate broad (c. 5cm FWHM) centred heavy ion peak
03.24 Detector biases & leakage currents OK - attachment 21
FEE64 temperatures OK - attachment 22
Good event statistics (12 of 12 < 50k) - attachment 23
System wide checks
List All Sync Error Counters - attachment 24
List all Sync Received Counters - attachment 25
Baseline invoked earlier c. 00.05
Collect all SYNC Error Counters for Baseline
Collect All White Rabbit status Error Counters for Baseline
04:07 2.6 mm Al degrader. 300Hz beam. 300 MeV/u 40Ar beam.
04.14 pulser peak seen in aida09 after performing ASIC check-load earlier in shift - width = 219 ch
04.45 1.8.H energy spectra (attachment 26/27)
06:08 attachments 28-30: detector bias/leakage currents ok
temperatures ok
good event statistics ok
all system wide checks ok
08:49 DAQ stop/start. TapeServer writing to No Storage. End of beam.

Looking at the white rabbit timestamps aida09 has a gibberish timestamp - attachment 2

Looking at the first attachment..... aida09 has rebooted. So it is not setup at all.
This has caused the NewMerger to hang .... which surprises me .... as I thought it was designed to spot a bad FEE and continue with the rest.
Yes I will have a look today as I'm in Daresbury.
More later ...... |

PJCS | Corrections and changes |
14/4/21 @12:00 UK time
Corrected the failure of FADC re-calibration All modules. The problem was a missing > in the .tml file
Edited the sys.tcl file in /MIDAS/TclHttpd/Html/RunControl to comment out where the status of the waveform enable was able to stop the creation of the .W spectra. This will now function at SETUP.
Edited the sys.tcl file to remove the test for Master module at the enable of the Correlation Scalar readout. All modules will now be enabled.
Successfully re-calibrated the LMK3200 in aida09 to remove the clock fault reported in System Wide Checks.
Successfully "sync ASIC clocks" followed by calibrate all module FADCs ( except aida09 which required seperate attention. )
All the Edits first carried out and tested at Daresbury T9 system. |

TD, JB, CC | Continued of 9th of April |
Disconnected test - pulser from aida08. Noise conditions improved slightly, probably less pulser events. (Attachments 1 & 2).
We recabled the dew point sensor and flow sensor for the water supply interlock to the FEE64s. When we tried to power up the interlock box, the PSU (charging block) LED was blinking indicating an internal power instability. We then plugged each of the sensors out and into the interlock box and found that the flow sensor was the source of the power supply issue.
The HDMI cable of aida04 appears to be broken or wobbly, but the signals still look the same after powering up again. The adaptor board was reseated.
Pulser peak of test - remeasured the peak in aida02 1.8.L and found the same result as before with 118 channels FWHM c. 95-100 keV FWHM energy resolution. (Attachment 3)
bPlast booster boards connected caused dramatic increase in the noise observed in AIDA. Grounding still needs to take place.
TO-DO for 10.04 - 11.04:
- aida04 asic #1 investigate noise
- aida14 asic #1 & asic #2 u/s? replace ASIC mezzanine?
- noise optimisation of aida-bplast -- (friday if BB7 also powered).

Philippos and Marc | Connection problem |
At 20:15, We lost connection with AnyDesk.
Liliana restarted Anydesk on the AIDA DAQ PC. All seemed fine on AIDA DAQ but there was a more generic issue on the main DAQ, possibly the timesorter.
Helena restarted all after ~30mn and it's all working again now.

NH | Confusing behaviour of rates |
Testing the behaviour of powering down the fast ADCs in aida01 (the hot FEE)
Set local control 2 to 0xff in aida01
Wait... see temperature drpos by ~3 degrees (PJCS reports much larger drop in T9)
So far so normal
*but*
aida05 rates go very high when this waveform is disabled!!
Set local control to 0x00 again
They drop back...
Recalibrated FADCs and back to normal |

New set of ASIC settings produced 2021Apr29-13-16-00

New set of Options file for FEEs - Points to the new ASIC settings
New layouts for histograms grouped by side of the detector. Heavily weighted to the front side in terms of number of his
/MIDAS/Linux/startup/NewMerger Updated line from "./master64 -i 12 -l 16 -p 11001 &" to "./master64 -i 16 -l 16 -p 11001 &"
/MIDAS/DB/EXPERIMENTS/MERGE/Options/aidas-gsi/CONTENTS updated the number of links to 16.

PJCS | Check Options files function added |
There is a new operation available in the System Functions menu in the System Wide Checks page. ( The page needs to be reset once when the FEEs are powered before this function will appear )
Check the Options files are all the same size
Using this function will provide a list of the file sizes of the Options/< fee name >/CONTENTS files along with the last time they were accessed as a list.
It's up to the user, at present, to interpret the results but more is possible if required .... |

Paddy was asking us to give a rough estimate for the number of implants per spill.
I zoomed in on the rates histogram (attachment #2) and it looks like roughly 5 implants per channel in SSD 1 and SSD2.
So this is 5*128*2=1280. Note that I don't know the rate window size (e.g., 1 second, 1 spill?) Probably the window does not catch a full spill.
This might be an over-estimate because an implant in SSD2 may leave a signal in SSD1.
Paddy was getting around 1k or 2k fragments per spill, but to first order it seems consistent.
18:36
Near R9_372 they slightly opened some FRS slits, as there is a belief we may be blocking some of 94Pd.
Implant rate seems similar to before, see attachment #5
Biases did not change more than normal, see attachment #6

NH | Background run |
A background run has been started to check the AIDA channels.
It is in /TapeData/BGFEB21
Due to some noisy channels the data rate is high (1.5 MB/s) even at 0x64
S4 access will be limited.
I do not know when open if it is worth looking at changing the adapter PCBs of it is more likely DSSD internal. |
