  719   Mon Oct 13 15:04:53 2025 JPB, NH, GB, MPDismount 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.

  639   Wed Jun 5 08:34:47 2024 JB. AM, MP, MYDetector bias tests

We are trying to bias each system on its own and in sequence biasing each other detector system to see the interdependence.
 

HV OK. TEMP OK. Attachment 1 &2.

9.43 bPlast unbiased, BB7 unbiased. Attachments 3-6 is the noise situation with only AIDA biased (bPlast was biased but turned off after AIDA was biased.)

10/16 FEEs < 20k noise. Max noise is 250k. Downstream AIDA appears to be seeing additional noise since S100.


11:21 Returning after an hour the noise has increased significantly in many channels. Scale changed to 10000 in histograms, it appears that the problem is from a couple hot channels.

11:41 'Power' cycled AIDA turned off. bPlast turned on, on its own, then BB7. bPlast doesn't seem to notice anything.

12:21 bPlast and BB7 on. AIDA ON. Rates and histograms given by attachment 7-8. More FEEs noisy, but same level as 11:21. There appears to be the same noisy channel in all of the FEEs (?) Some grounding not properly accounted for, or a wire touching somewhere (?)

13:55h: AIDA & BB7 on. Rates and histograms given in attachments 9-10. Same level as bplast & AIDA on. Same noisy channels in FEEs. According to Nic, these correspond to the end of the ribbon cables & is normal.

13:59 AIDA, bPlast & BB7 on before lunch. Same levels of noise as in previous combinations (attachments 11-12).

So it seems we can run with the three sub-systems biased simultaneously.

  571   Thu Apr 11 08:27:21 2024 JB, TD11 April noise tests
TO-DO for 11.04.2024

- Try bringing bPlast drain wire ground back to the PSU ground for PN 300 and R&SRMP4040.

- Recheck the downstream detector bias and ground scheme.

-

 

9:27 Restarted AIDA and hit go at 9:54. Situation the same as it was in the evening of 10.04.2024. 10 out of 16 FEE64s in good condition. Waveforms of aida16,

        TEMP OK - HV OK. See attachments 1-6.

 

10:20 We grounded the output of the R&SRMP4040 to to the drain wire ground of the bPlast ribbon cables and the output of the PN 300 PSU that is powering the booster boards. Results given by attachments 7 -11. We only saw a marginal improvement in the overall noise condition.

10:32 We connected the ground of the frame to the drain wire ground, that is also mutually connected to the ground of the R&SRMP4040 output ground and PN 300 output ground. Results given by attachments ???. We did not see any improvement in the overal noise condition.

17.15 bPlas ON -

        Current bPlast ground configuration:

         bPlas current ground configuration - drainwires of all ribbon cables excluding short side (cont. with snout) are grounded back to the bPlast R&SRMP4040 PSU, on the 29 V output. 4 V PSU to booster boards are floating, output of PN 300 is grounded to the PSU. The mesytec PSU, that also powers bPlast SiPMs at

         29V is not grounded to anything but the frame. Snout is currently light tight, I suspect internal radiation from FATIMA.

         It is noted that bPlast current draw fluctuated significantly (+/- 300 mV) as a result of thresholds set to the detector. I tried to set the thresholds HIGH to stabilise the bPlast detector as the power draw is fluctuating greatly.         

          AIDA noise very good

            ADC data item stats - attachment 42

            12x < 20k, max 83k (aida04)

            per FEE64 Rate spectra - attachment 43

           

 

 

To Do list

- separate 29V (low current) and 4V (high current) return paths/ground refs

- The mesytec PSU that powers the bPlast detector  is running to frame, it might be an idea to ground ribbon c

  533   Mon Mar 11 15:19:44 2024 JB, NH, Priyanka, Michael Armstrong, Helena AlbersTo Do: AIDA PCB tests

To do:

1) Disconnect ribbon cables from p+n junction FEE64 adaptor PCBs of upstream DSSSD, apply c. 100V bias and check leakage current is zero i.e. eliminate shorts in PCBs

 - When the p+n ribbon cables were disconnected for both the upstream and downstream AIDA, the pins and ribbon cables did not appear to have any blemishes.

- Both sets of adaptor PCBs were biased to 100 V and only had an apparent fluctuation in current at c. 0.01 uA. At low voltages (~10V) the current cycled between 0 and 1 uA.

2) Check that all ribbon cables are properly seated in the adaptor PCBs

- When inspected all ribbon cables seemed to be properly seated. A decent press was applied to confirm the seating. The PCBs themselves were inspected and no noticeable damage was observed.

3) Check all adaptor PCB connector pins are OK: will need to remove ribbon cables

- Done for the p+n side, can decide if this is needed for the n+n side.

4) If/when you open check seating of all Kapton PCBs in the DSSSD connectors *and* carefully check that ribbon cable and Kapton PCB connectors are aligned and not out by 1 or 2 rows say.

-  Will have to decide further.

5) From email discussion: Check the SHV connector is grounded if one unplugs the cable from the back of the HV module. If yes: We are touching a ground somewhere. If no: it's via the HV (fine).

- When HV#0 was disconnected from the HV module, we used a multimeter on the SHV connecter and frame and read zero resistance 0L on the meter. While when completing the circuit for HV#1 (still) plugged into the HV module we read a resistance of > 1.7 Ohm.

- The HV is touching ground somewhere. This should not be a problem however as the snout is isolated, and this was observed by connecting the SHV to the snout and reading 0L.

6) Properly cover snout with black cloth and bias upstream.

- Snout was covered with black cloth and a black bag. The downstream detector p+n side was biased at 50V and charging/discharging was observed. This is probably due to a short connection somewhere.

Wafer 3 (beam left) shows breakdown issues at 90V... curious

We replace with november beam triple: 3208-3/3208-21/3208-22

We must speak to Micron about why so many 3208 wafers seem to have issues at >90V
It seems unlikely to be other issues

Check adapter alignment aida14 and aida16

 

bPlas left/right cables are not insulated and shorting to the snout

Logs on nnpi1 archived and deleted, start again
All 16 FEEs are showing USB logging connectivity and can be monitored with Pi_Monitor

From waveforms aida08 and aida16 are quite unhappy. The rest don't seem too bad. DSSSD 1 is much quieter than it was before!

White Rabbit Analysis: aida02 has lots of WR error counter, HDMI reseat needed
aida09-12 have no WR timestamp, the cable to the MACB is bad or the MACB is bad.
Not needed to fix right now (for noise testing)

Turn off bPlas
We see the noise drop a lot

15:40 reseated FEE64s adaptors of aida01, aida09, aida13 & aida16.

TEMP OK. HV OK. System wide checks all passed excl. aida07 ADC calibration, see attached.

Histograms and rates look same as previous, reseating aida01 seems to have worked. aida16 still unhappy.

re-reseated aida16. 16:19 - appears to have fixed the problem in the channel.

Pulser test + connected.

bPlast ground removed from frame.

To-do:

- Need clarification about links connected on AIDA n+n FEE64 adaptor boards. Currently, the situation is given by the attachment 8 & 9.

- Fix BB7 grounding, continuity between snout and frame observed.

- Pulser walkthrough for n+n, can do p+n when convienient.

 

 

18.30 Noted FEE64 ADC stats now significantly higher ( attachments 9-10 ) cf. earlier this afternoon (attachments 1-2)

DSSSD bias OFF. FEE64 power OFF.

  727   Mon Oct 27 11:55:00 2025 JB, MP, GB, NHChanging ground setup from 25102025
12:55 We are going to try the follow changes to the AIDA scheme of 241012025.

- Fitting LK1 (aida01, aida14), removing LK1 (aida03, aida07, aida11, aida15) - only 1x LK1 needs to be fitted per Si wafer
- Removing LK4 to see what (if anything) changes.

Check that all of the screws securing the copper foil to ground are tight - snout install/removal tends to loosen screws.

- Remove the bias line between aidas 12-3-15 and aidas 16-7-11
- Remove the test circuit
 (These two should eliminate any extra ground path on the front, except via the DSSD)

- Use a multimeter to confirm 0 Ohm between all the copper foils  (short the two probes to correct for resistance of the probe leads)

- Try combinations of LK2/LK4 on the n+n fees

13:01 We check first the grounding with a multimeter and the different copper grounding components. They should all be grounded to the large iron frame, which is in turn grounded to the platform. We also checked that the CAEN HV PSU was also grounded to the platform (it is).

13:22 We removed the LK on aida03, aida07, aida11, aida15 and added LK1 to aida01 and aida14. We try starting the DAQ and seeing the response from these changes.

13:25 We tried biasing with this configuration and the first DSSD on HV01 read a leakage current of 40 uA (too high). So we biased it down and reassessed. 

13:30 It turns out we had LK1 fitted to aida04. We tried biasing again but this time DSSSD on HV01 tripped. They are fitted with LK4 so we biased down and removed these link on aida06 and aida08.

13:35 Trying to bias now with LK4 removed from aida06 and aida08. We tried fitting and removing again. Now the setup appears to bias. This was probably due to a stray piece of copper shielding touching the PCB.

14:22 We are checking the noise conditions now. TEMPS OK. FADC Align and whiterabbit timestamps OK.

14:30 With the changes above we have noticed an intense 5/2 ms pulsed signal in the wave forms. See attachment 2

15:20 We decabled everything and the current scheme from 24102025, see prev. elog entry is in attachment 1.

15:34 We have unbiased AIDA1 and the wave forms improve for AIDA2 (?), 5/2 ms pulsed signal is still observed in AIDA1

Day2:

10:14 we set up the detector with the pulser in BB7 and started biasing the detector and setting up the DAQ. Water flow and temperature check, OK. 677/1 677/2 677/3

FEE temps OK. Screenshots included for LOCAL controls for aida07, Discriminator for aida07, ASIC control for aida01 ASIC # 1,2,3,4 and the pulser setting - 1 V @ 10 Hz rep. 677/4 677/5 677/6 677/7 677/8 677/9

ASIC thresholds for the fast comparator LEC/MEC set to 0x20 for all the ASICs in aida10 - connected to BB7. Act on all ASICs did not work with this so each threshold was set to 0x20 on each ASIC by hand.

The pulser is now connected to BB7 test + and via a T-connector to the scope, triggering on the pulser signal. We saw now signals --> lower the threshold of the fast comparator to 1 MeV - 0x64 on all ASICs in aida10. 677/10

No signal was observed, threshold was then set to 0x190 (400 keV) 677/11

13:00 We resumed after lunch. It seems that our thresholds were way too high for starters each channel was actually 100 keV in HEX. We then set the thresholds in aida10 to 0x32, 0x20, 0x20, 0x11 for ASIC 1,2,3,4, respectively. This was to achieve a 10 Hz hit rate in all of the channels! This was done successfully see 677/12 for the hit rate spectrum and also 677/13-16 for the thresholds.

678/1 shows the AIDA OR64 trigger from the fast comparator of aida10.

678/2-4 show the bPlast accepted trigger after the bPlast DAQ has been triggered by the AIDA OR64. The images show a signal coming fast in time after the pulser and also a signal at around 80 us that appears to be coming from pile up.

The bPlast DAQ also now runs with the AIDA OR64 trigger after the NIM out signal from the MACB was sent to an octal discriminator to fix the width of the signal and also the pulse width which from TAMEX should be kept at or above 100 ns. The NIM signal from the MACB was mostly 100 ns but also jumping to signals with a 20ns pulse width.

The pulser was set to 0.5 V to test if we can still see the time spectrum between AIDA and bPlast with reduced thresholds -- mimicking a beta event.

These thresholds were changes from 0x32, 0x20, 0x20, 0x11 for ASIC 1,2,3,4 ---> 0x10, 0x10, 0x0d, 0x10.

This was set to have the HitRate in aida10 to be just above the noise.

The pulser was set to 0.5 V to test if we can still see the time spectrum between AIDA and bPlast with reduced thresholds -- mimicking a beta event.

These thresholds were changes from 0x32, 0x20, 0x20, 0x11 for ASIC 1,2,3,4 ---> 0x10, 0x10, 0x0d, 0x10.

This was set to have the HitRate in aida10 to be just above the noise.

 

Initial results: copy from DESPEC elog.

We have managed to obtain the time difference between the bPlast White rabbit and the AIDA Fast time. We had to gate out the zero fast-time events and then also condition that we only take the data from aida10. We see this in 684/1. Then if we look at the time difference between the fast time and the bPlast WRT we see a sharp peak at zero, this makes sense as the AIDA fast time discriminator is being triggered by a pulser which is then being used as a trigger for bPlasts DAQ so these events should be virtually arriving without delay. The delay we do see is infact around 750 ns.

The data collected overnight was also analysed as shown in 684/3 this is the data accumulated with the 22Na source close to the snout and a global threshold in the fast discriminator of 0x0f. The centre peak was roughly fitted with a gaussian:

  734   Wed Oct 29 14:11:01 2025 JB, MP207Bi source test - data taking
15:10 MP entered and check the water pressure OK.
15:10 DSSSDs biased - OK.

The plan from https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/DESPEC/719


- 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.

Currently the n+n ohmic channels are too noisy to be used for the test. So we will disable their readout for the data taking.

All system wide checks passed. ADC calibration not (but we don't care since we aren't looking at waveforms... for now...).

TEMPS OK. Attachment 2.

We loaded the settings from 2025Oct28-14.55.15 which has blanket thresholds of 0x64 (1 MeV) for all the ASICs.
 
The pulser peaks seem to have gotten wider since yesterday (75 channels). We have now measured a peak width of 167 channels in aida14 (!) (attachment 3). This was only after tightening the grounding of the setup and disabling the y FEEs. Rates in the ohmic FEEs appear to have decreased by a whole order of magnitude excl. aida02 (see attachment 4).

Currently, we have the ohmic FEE64s disabled aida02,04,06,08, in the discriminator channel mask value set 0x0 ---> 0xfffffff.

15:47 We lower the thresholds to 200 keV (2025Oct29-09.55.31)to see how the system responds and what the rates are. 

15:54 We see a 207Bi spectrum cleanly ontop of the FEE64s over which the source is place (aida01,aida14,aida03,aida07). Attachment 6. (For comparison the 207Bi spectrum obtained by Oscar Hall in the AIDA NIM paper Attachment 7).

- A quick observation is that the low energy peak around 400 keV is slightly cut off in some of the FEEs (this could suggest that the operating threshold might be slightly different in some of the FEEs).

16:00 Setting up the merger. EXPERIMENTS/AIDA/2025Oct29-16.11.06 setting made for the discriminators mask setting for the y FEEs disabled.

To the reader of this elog: By now it has taken over an hour to start up the DAQ... We give up and will try tomorrow morning

  740   Wed Nov 5 13:23:38 2025 JB, MP207Bi source test - FWHM tests
14:10 started up the DAQ. HV and TEMPS OK.

Peak threshold with 1V pulser measured at ~ 175 ADC channels. Attachment 3.

14:24 DAQ stopped and detector debiased. We are going to do the following:

1. Cover the snout with a black cloth to check if it is light tight!
2. Disconnect the detector signal cable from the FEE64 adaptor card of aida14.

We put a black cloth cover over the snout, but pulser peak width remained the same ~161 ADC channel. Attachment 4,5.

We disconnected the cable from aida14 and the FWHM pf the pulser is ~15 ADC channels (as expected)

Wrapped the snout with more copper tape at the point where the PCB ground makes contact with the snout to ensure better contact, this seems to improve the FWHM to ~95 ADC channels

  681   Wed Jan 8 10:08:29 2025 JB, GB, SD, MP, CC, JGAIDA noise test with platform in position

Yesterday we spent time essentially performing a dry run to get AIDA DAQ and bPlast into the time sorter, there were some issues with the AIDA mbs PC x86l-119 which was related to some boot issue, it was booting to a newer version of debian while the Relay for AIDA to MBS is on an older version (scratch) (the machine is quite old). We spent a bit of time getting the thresholds correct for each of the ASICs. In the end we just elected to have a blanket level of 0x0f for all of the ASICs when we removed the pulser.

Last night we left the setup with the following thresholds on all of the FEEs to collect data. 681/1. The pulser was also turned off and the 22Na source was moved close to the snout.

This morning c. 9:25 we returned and checked the temperatures, HV and statistics and everything seems to be ok. The only problem was that the timesorter has crashed this morning at 8 am.
