Check on PHDI pulser width:
205170 (first in beam run) - 1.1% FWHM (at 8275 ch)
205439 (01/09/16) - 1.0% FWHM (at 8008 ch)

Seems to be holding up OK at present.

Three aluminium crates contain 26Al(n, alpha) kit from EAR2, and was in the barracks (building 6547) near detector lab by EAR1 entrance. A list is attached and photos can be found on Dropbox:

Gafchromics foil was mounted on empty brass frame back to back with Li sample

Neutron beam goes well through the sample. Centered ~1 cm from sample center. Conclusion: no changes needed (too risky to make it worse and it is ok now)

B looks as we are used to , Li tritons are now stopped in the detector and should appear around 2.8 MeV. 

An empty frame (on the top) was placed on Friday night.

After inserting aluminium target, previously-dead channel 24 on EDET was re-plugged into a 12-bit card SPD02872. It is the only EDET on 12-bit card, the rest are on 14-bit. From pulsers, there appears to be a 90 ns offset from this EDET to others, with EDET24 preceeding the rest. The last channel on 14-bit cards was broken, hence havng to use 12-bit.

E front 2x16-way to 1x34-way IDC cable from the Junction Box to the IDC-Lemo 00 adaptor was found to be inserted upside-down - the 16-way IDC connectors did not have polarisation keys - meaning the E detector p+n junction strip signals collected with 26Al for the first night are not working. Signals from the dE p+n junction strips and E n+n Ohmic strips will be OK. The mistake occurred at the conclusion of the noise tests yesterday - see https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/nToF/52

The 2x16-way to 1x34-way IDC cable without polarisation keys has now been replaced.

Run 216417 and onwards have correct cabling. For runs before that, E back and dE are still reliable.

Dear all,

There was an issue with one of the strips of the deltaE detector (DEED 14), for run216644. The gain dropped to almost a factor of 3. Find attached.

Somehow, it was fixed, but still lags, when compared to other strips of deltaE. This was tested for a more recent run, run216651. Find attached.

I also checked a bit older run (run216637) and they look similar.. Find attached. Maybe we should figure out if this will be a problem for the DEED14 strips.

NOTE: The plots have the run number at the top-center.

After long beam-off, changed detector mount by moving it 2 cm forward into the beam, after removing LiF 3.
