11:31 The detector was turned off last night to put it into a safe state. We return to make some comparison of the noise w.r.t the tests performed by Nabil and co.
email snippet:
"
I would suggest that you first quantify current noise performance (slow comparators -> 0x64 to reduce rate, measure pulser peak width) for each FEE64 (use layouts 3 and 4) and compare to Nabil's most recent test results. Looking at last night's 1.8.W spectra I would assume that they would be significantly worse but best to check.
I would then suggest you carefully check
Grounding configuration (both internal and external to the snout) used Nabil's most recent tests has actually been re-established
Grounding of the bPlas cabling
"
We are going to restart the DAQ and set the LEC thresholds to 0x64 and compare the peak FWHM with a pulser.
11:50 We started up the DAQ temps and bias look OK.
12:00 We set the thresholds on each ASIC in the slow comparator LEC to 0x64. This should correspond to a high threshold. For some reason the y-strips are still noisy (wrong polarity in the register ?) |

19.45 Remote system check
DSSSD bias & leakage currents OK - attachment 1
FEE64 temperatures OK - attachment 2
aida02 ASIC temperature often reporting zero but sometimes a sensible value - presumably PT100 fault
ADC data item stats - attachment 3
all FEE64s at high/very high rates - only 3x of 16x FEE64s < 100k
ASIC settings per aida01-aida04
p+n FEE64s slow comparator 0xa, n+n FEE64s 0xf cf. 0x64 used for previous tests by Nabil?
per FEE64 Rate spectra - attachment 4
per FEE64 1.8.W spectra - 20us FSR - attachments 5-6
19.55 Switch to safe state (FEE64 power OFF, DSSSD HV OFF) overnight as appears to be unattended/not monitored overnight.
Tomorrow I would suggest resuming tests (using slow comparator 0x64) and checking per FEE64 pulser peak width for comparison with previous tests by Nabil. If
unable to reproduce previous tests (or previous AIDA performance) you will need to check setup/reduce noise to be able to perform measurements using the 207Bi source. |

The Messhuette has been cleaned and equipment has been rearranged. If there are any broken or missing components be sure to follow up with the FRS group (as I believe they have been cleaning here).
We are resuming the work on the source measurements as the cooling water is back. Some of the valves still look closed so we are investigating if the water is flowing to the setup.
14:31 Temperature on start up OK - attachment 2.
15:41 We reset the ASIC control registers to a setup used in Feb 2024 (2025Feb24-17.14.52) to match the full AIDA setup (it was using BB7 initially in aida10).
The old bias scheme is obsolete and the bias is now done via the Ohmic side.
16:47 We have look at some initial spectra with the 207Bi 3-8 shows the ADC channels and waveforms of the n+n and p+n sides. Bias and grounding developed by Nabiel have been done.
We are going to wait for the system to stabilise over night so that we start taking data tomorrow. Then we can analyse the results and see what we get :) Some channels are clearly broken which can be seen in the waveforms eg. aida16. |

JB, GB, MP | 207Bi source threshold tests |
We have dismounted the AIDA stack and bPlast and realigned the cables so that they can fit into the adapters.
The plan for the next couple days is the following:
- Alignment -- done
- Remount cable -- done
- Fix position w/o bPlast mounted -- done
- Remount bracket for the last stage -- done
- Remount AIDA 1 & 2 and the 207Bi source with the source holder -- done
- Mount the snout and take data -- we wait till next week Monday when the heat exchanger is active again. (ongoing)
The current setup at the end of work is that the snout is mount with a bPlast (uncabled) and 2 AIDA layers at the regular spaced position with a 207Bi source down stream, as can be seen in the previous elog. The source is ~1 cm away from the middle AIDA wafer.
Currently what is cabled:
- Signal out from the detector
- Bias daisy chain
Still to be cabled:
- HV cable
- Grounding
- Pulser
Additional info on the source position:
- the source is at ~9.6 mm distance from the downstream detector
- the source is placed at the centre of the middle wafer: 12.25 cm in x, 4.75 cm in y
- the radius of the source is ~1.5 mm |

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. |

Attachment1: AIDA05.1.8L when AIDA05 connected, biased at 101 V with shielded cables. BB7 is still connected but not biased (same configuration as the previous elog). The channel of the CAEN power supply #0 is connected to ASIC08 and biased at 100V. The channel of the CAEN power supply #1 is disconnected but still biased at 100V. AIDA04 (chained to AIDA05) is biased via a shielded cable to an iseg NHQ 246L power supplied, biased at 101 V with 16 uA.
All the outside drain wires of bplast are now taped to the snout.
The red markers of the cursors of the previous test have been left for ease of comparison.
FWHM: 21699-21644 = 55 channels (to be compared with the previous elogs between 73 channels and 79 channels)

Attachment1: AIDA05.1.8L when AIDA05 connected, biased at 100 V with not-shielded cables, after the DEGAS platform has been closed, the 2 tiles of BB7 have been connected to the mesytec preamps. BB7 is not biased. The mesytec preamps have been fully connected and supplied but 6/8 black cables are not connected on the other side. 4X and 4Y are connected to the 2 FEBEX cards.
The 2 drain wires of bplast that were hanging on the bottom are now taped to the snout, not making any antena effect anymore.
FWHM: 79 channels (to be compared with the previous elogs between 73 channels and 76 channels)
Conclusion: no significant differences can be observed when BB7 is connected. The tail on the left side of the spectrum in twice as small, most likely because on the now-taped drain wires of bplast |

Each test are done and compared for AIDA05.1.8L, compared with the pulser (caracteristics, see attachment1)
Test 1: with HT cables shielded
Attachment 2: HT = 100V; cable AIDA05 connected --> FWHM = 77 channels (= 51.3 keV) with a top of the curve at 100 cts (AIDA9.1.8L has also been checked and was at 89 channels)
Attachment 3: HT = 0V; cable AIDA05 connected --> FWHM = 1757 channels with a top of the curve at 15 cts after almost 40 min because the noise had a baseline of 6500 channels
Attachment 4: HT = 0V; cable AIDA05 disconnected --> FWHM = 16 channels with a top of the curve at 110 cts
Attachment 5: HT = 100V; cable AIDA05 disconnected --> FWHM = 17 channels with a top of the curve at 110 cts
Test 2: with HT cables not shielded
Attachment 6: HT = 0V; cable AIDA05 connected --> FWHM = 1452 channels (968 keV) with a top of the curve at 23 cts after 1:15 hours because the noise had a baseline of 7000 channels
Attachment 7: HT = 100V; cable AIDA05 connected --> FWHM = 73 channels with a top of the curve at 100 cts
Attachment 8: HT = 0V; cable AIDA05 disconnected --> FWHM = 15 channels with a top of the curve at 120 cts
Attachment 9: HT = 100V; cable AIDA05 disconnected --> FWHM = 16 channels with a top of the curve at 125 cts
Conclusion: with shielded or unshielded cables, the noise situation seems to be the same, proving that mot of the noise don't come from the cables
Other thing that have been noticed is that the peak of the pulser is shifted when the cables are connected compared to when they are not connected: connected: peak at around channel 21675; disconnected: peak at around channel 21925 |

*** Summary
DSSSD#0
3x Si wafers biased OK
p+n junction side electronic noise c. 1.2-2x 2023/4 configuration
n+n Ohmic side very noisy - increased detector HV to stabilise => increased capacitative load cf. 2023/4 configuration?
DSSSD#1
2x Si wafers biased OK, 1x probably not biased
p+n junction side electronic noise > 4x 2023/4 configuration
n+n Ohmic side very noisy/unstable - increased detector HV not attempted due to issues with biasing all 3x Si wafers
MSL type BB7
not biased yet
To Do
Complete connection and grounding of Bplas detectors |
