Entry  Sun Jun 16 07:31:01 2019, Victor, The bump in the mutiplicities 8x
We have calculated the spectra of the module multiplicity for each side (careful! the maximum is 8, since it is
not the total multiplicity but the multiplicity of each side).
Entry  Sun Jun 16 07:08:10 2019, Ela, Sonja, Victor, Alejandro, problems in coincidence crystals-F11 Crystals_coincidence_F11.pngTAC_crystals_coincidence_F11.png
We have noticed that there is a problems in the coincidence Crystals-F11. The TAC shows a lot of counts. The
Crystals spectrum in coincidence with F11 do not. The time window of this coincidence is from-50 to 50 samples
and it should be from -180 to 300 samples to be centered in the peak of the TAC.

We will change it at soon as possible

File:  20190610_1145_Conf_DTAS.xlsx

Several changes and corrections
Naming: V2A8C1 -> Aux01, ...

New or corrected
Aux13 -> LP_out (puse out of light pulser)
Aux15 -> DTpulser (Out of GSI clock triggering LP)
Aux16 -> SyncPulser (Out of GSI clock send out for synchronization with AIDA & BigRIPS)

Ranges changed
Aux09, ERefAn

We observed that LP_out was counting less than the other two
so we tried to check DACQ parameters. We basically change nothing
Only activated "CFD time"
Note that pulse out is a very strange signal:
Negative(?),-400mV offset, 200mV high
In the DACQ is treated as positive signal with a large negative offset.

There is an effect if the pulser is at higher frequency in the low energy part of the anodes (apart from the funny situation that the scaler shows an increase from 1.7 Khz to 8.5 kHz and the dynodes rate remain with the same rate)

The effect can be seen in the spectrum of the anodes. See screenshots in the attachment. First attachment (pulser at 10 Hz, second attachment pulser at 100 Hz)

After checking the shifts in gain, it seems that for most of the detectors the dynode and anode signal moved in the same direction with the exception of detector 13 (dynode and anode do not move

equally, so probably there is a cable problem here, probably in the Dynode 13 or preamp problem)

Edit 13/06/19 Oscar Hall

The low energy channels of AIDA have been gain matched. Attached is the energy plot of the x and y side strops in AIDA.

Root: 201906071117_24Na_AIDA_in.root

Comment: After irradiation of approximately 7 days, we extracted one Alu plate. It shows 24Na activity and also probably some beta+ activity.

The sample was not irradiated in the last 10 hours or so. It is positioned roughly in the center of the detector side in front of AIDA, using the frame prepared in Valencia.

It is not in the geometrical centre of the DTAS

Rates: 4.5 kHz (Dynodes), 4.5 (Anodes)  (Background level was at approximately 1.6-1.7 in both Dynodes, Anodes)

We need to check the alignment properly with Cs, but it looks that after one week some of the detectors have moved.

Group 1,3,5,7  (all seem to move with respect to detector 1)

Group 2,4,6,8 (detector 6 moved)

Group 11,13,15,17 (11 and 1 seem aligned, detector 13 moved)

Comment: At the begining there was no beam, to see the difference. The lead bricks blocking the way to AIDA has been removed as well as the

polyethylene blocks. The lead wall after F11 plastic remains, and of course the lead shielding and the polyethylene shielding before the DTAS is not removed.

Only the blocks that were inside the holes were removed.

Beam arrived around 17:47, intensity at F7 is 3.3 kHz, at F11 of the order of 2.4 kHz, at Aida plastic of the order of 2 kHz after substracting. The beam is centered at 102Sn, but there are a lot of other staff comming through

the noise level.

The increase in the counting rate of the NaI is very small.

Rates with NO BEAM: Dynodes 1.6 kHz, Anodes 1.9 kHz

Rates with BEAM: Dynodes 1.7 kHz, Anodes 1.9 kHz

I will not erase it and continue to collect root files (no lmd for the moment), they are still optimizing things. Rate at F11 should be similar to

the rate at F7 according to Pieter. Rate at F7 plastik  is 5 kHz. The plastik spectra (F11, our plastik) shows some spikes.

The position of the reference detector in the ancilliary card was changed from channel 10 to channel 9. Remember that this is important

in relation to all files saved until now.

The HV of AIDA plastic was changed from 1300 V back to 1000 V.

A new configuration file provided by Alvaro and Jose, with some small changes will be loaded.

cp 20190529_Conf_ATJLT.xlsx 20190530_Conf.xlsx

The new configuration file has been uploaded. Reference detector appears in channel V2A8C9. It was necessary to change the range of the histogram, and to recalibrate it.

With the new configuration parameters the pulser appears at 1360 keV in the calibrated spectra of the reference detector.

The threshold of the Ref detector has also been changed. From 4400 to 2800.

F11 plastic has been connected to our dacq as it was in the earlier BRIKEN setting.

The detector cables were followed and connections checked.

The outputs of the detector (L and R) go through an Ortec TFA 474 with the following settings:

Coarse gain: x4

Fine gain: looks minimal

Integrate (ns): 200

Diff (ns): 100

Non-inv setting

After the TFA, the Right signal is plugged in channel 1 of our card, and an attenuated signal (50 Ohm) is

plugged in channel 3. Similarly the Left signal after the TFA is plugged in channel 2 and the attenuated 

signal is plugged in channel 4.


Parameters of the channels of the dacq have to be checked.

The reference detector was very noisy. The threshold has been changed from 2000 to 3200. We should look at this more carefully.

The position of the fiber was also changed. It moved too close to the Cs peak. Probably it has to do with the flexibility of the plastik screw that fixes it.

No large displacements. Det Dyn1 seems to have slightly larger statistics. The assymetry of the two sides is clear, as it should be.

Comments: Detectors show small drifts, of the order of the precision of the HV (we could apply 0.5 V corrections to align some of them, but I will not touch them now)

Dy16 looks quite off in the background measurement, but not with the Cs one !!!.

Calibrated spectra: Dy3 an An3 moved a little in the same direction, An12 looks also a little displaced.

Now I plan to measure some sources with AIDA in. It means that the sources will not be centered. The available distance from the oposite side to

the nose of AIDA is 16 cm.

Not clear why the Dynodes rate is so high compared with the anodes. There is not such a big

difference in rate of the individual detectors.  

(Dynodes and Anodes rates are taken from the Python script written by Jorge, that correspond to the full card)

Later it become evident that probably we need to increase  the threshold of detector 8 again (Dy08).

Before it was not like that, but now seems to be triggering in the noise.

Root file: 201905201404_137Cs60Co_calib.root

Rates; 53 kHz (Dynodes), 47 kHz (anodes) So thresholds should be checked

Anode 12 (calibrated) has a large jump, because the cable in the digitizer was not fully plugged.

We need to recalibrate them. The alignment was done originally with Dynodes.

Entry  Mon May 20 03:18:03 2019, A. Algora, Co and Cs after two days 

We have been running with Co and Cs for the weekend to check the overall stability.

Seems that the detectors did not move too much. Please note that the Ref detector was plugged incorrectly in channel 8

instead of channel 10 of the ancilliary card.  A new run will be done to include the reference detector.

It looks that the calibration might be sligthly shifted for detectors 12, 13,17 (Dynodes)

Entry  Sat May 18 01:41:45 2019, Nacher, Algora, gain check after the night 

Only PM3 showed an small jump. It seems that it has moved. Even after changing the HV cable. We will pay attention to it in the next days.

The others seem stable.

Entry  Thu May 16 06:59:51 2019, Algora Kiss Nacher, Det 3 

Det 3 moved, both Anode and Dynode. So we have changed the HV cable to test if there are no more jumps. We used cable 9 and it was not

relabeled. The HV of the detector was corrected. It was changed to 527.5 V

Entry  Thu May 16 02:57:15 2019, Nacher, Algora, threshold dynode #13 increased 20190516_Conf.xlsx
Threshold of dynode #13 changed from 500 to 700 because of a very high noise.

After the long background measurement we have measured 60Co to check alignment.
Everything looks fine except for detector #3 that has moved to lower gain (seen in dynodes and anodes).
See figures attached.

Entry  Wed May 15 06:40:16 2019, Algora, Kiss, Nacher , DTAS aligned and calibrated Screenshot_from_2019-05-15_14-29-57.pngScreenshot_from_2019-05-15_14-30-57.pngScreenshot_from_2019-05-15_14-31-25.pngScreenshot_from_2019-05-15_14-31-55.png

Signal cables (long cables, from preamp to digitizer) of channels 13 and 16 were changed. For the moment they have not been relabelled.

We assumed that it was not a HV supply or cable problem, since the anods were aligned and only the dynodes moved.

After changing the cables we realigned the dynodes and recalibrated all signals. Screen shots are attached.
