Claudia | Al-26 planning meeting summary |
- Start 9th August, access to EAR-2 11 am earliest but can start in rack area before
- Setup to be used: 1 dE (16 strips, 20 um thickness) + 1 E (16x16 strips, 150 um thickness. We have a spare for each thickness
- Sample and detectors to be mounted on the same flange
Things to check:
- alignment with beam centre (lasers and/or gafchromics foils)
- is the setup stable to knockes, can all detector / sample positions be well reproduced when making changes
Once setup us completed:
- checks with pulser
- mounf LiF sample number 3 and run with neutron beam
- check that all strips have signals
- confirm shape of gamma flash and that short times can be anaysed in both detectors (~1.8 us after flash)
If everything working:
- measure LiF-3 and the switch to Al-26
- towards end of the run we can also measure B-3 and the empty brass frame (Frame without mylar)
- proton statistics: 1E17 LiF-3, 1F17 B-3, ~3E17 Empty, 5.5 E18 Al-26
Travel times
Nick: 8-16, Annie 8-12, Tom, 7 -?, Claudia, 8-10, Emmanuel asap until end of run
Measurement runs until Octover 2nd. Disassembly by Nick and Emmanuel.
additional trips during the measurement as required (if something breaks/fails etc. )
Attached: photos of previous setup
TO Do: MCA availability at nTOF for quick noise checks (Nick)
how many channels in 14 bit, how many 12 bit (Nick)
depletion voltages for detectors (Tom)
Register the eqipment at CERN as Edinburgh property (Claudia)

CLW | Gafchromics Foil |
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) |

CLW | expected counts B and Li |
The rootfiles countsB.root and countsLi.root contain histograms of count spectra that would be expected at n_TOF for a 10B and a 6Li target, respectively. The units in y are arbitrary. This can be used to check, if we can reproduce the expected trend with our Li and B measurements. So the histograms called "counts" can be directly compared to the histograms called "energy" in Sili_deed.c (they should have the same binning). You need to scale the histogram to get a decent overlap. You can use this also to estimate the neutron energy calibration - the thermal bump at low energy will give you a good idea of the flight path length. Structure at high energy will give you a better idea on the offset.
The files 6Li_endf.root and 10B_endf.root are the original cross section files, and countrate_calc.C is the file used to produce the count spectra.

Annie | Signal Spreadsheet info |
Spreadhseet made for shifters to manually enter that they have checked each signal and that they can see gamma-flashes. It is saved as "26Al_EAR2_Signal_Checks.ods", it is located on the second monitor on the right of the control room, next to the monitor used to see the beam intensity (same monitor used to see signals).
It will stay open throughout the campeign. Shifters have been told to check signals more than just the once to record that they're okay, and there is a comments box for shifters to add any comments/issues that arises after they have recorde that they have checked the signals at least once. |
