 Fri May 24 06:25:14 2019, A. Algora, Background assymetry 
|
Some pictures after the background during the nigth. The front and back side looks asymetric. To be checked again with a 137Cs source.
AIDA is in. Root file is saved, after one night.

|
Following the instructions of CAEN, the SY2527 is working again. Some pushing, massaging appear to solve the situation |

Thu May 23 03:06:15 2019, A. Algora, 133Ba source of red box too strong
|
The Ba source of the red box is too strong. We can not use it. I need to identify the other one, which does not appear to be in RIBF.
The counting rate was 74 kHz in the DTAS. |

|
Start: 10:48
Stop: 10:58
Root: 201905231058_137Cs_with_Aida.root
Comment: Aida in, source in the position as in the earlier entries. Just to check if there is any jump. No lmd, only root.
No large displacements. Det Dyn1 seems to have slightly larger statistics. The assymetry of the two sides is clear, as it should be.

The nose of AIDA is 16 cm from the external edge of the frame (down stream). In that position Si # 3 is at the center of the DTAS according to Tom.
We have to be very careful when AIDA is moved in. Some of the AIDA flat connector cables are touching the connectors of our NaI cables.

Wed May 22 06:31:54 2019, A. Algora, 137Cs quick test of alignment
|
Start: 14:32
Stop: 14:37
Source: 137Cs
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. |
