  42   Thu Jul 27 11:25:35 2023 ClaudiaAl-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)

  6   Fri Oct 16 15:36:13 2015 Sarah Lonsdale06/10/15 Leakage, dE signal problem solving and external pulser trigger

 Leakage tues am
0.03 microA dE
0.52 microA E

Before leaving at 11.30am or so-
Bias dE up to 20V, leakage to 0.07microA
E has 0.51 microA

Problem solving dE signals...
SIG l6d6 a has signal of 600mV
SIG 24 has signal of 500mV
White noise is comparable, but transient ringing on l6d6 could indicate higher capacitance

Testing dE for signal with alpha source- but removed before continuing run.
dE sees particles after rotating ribbon by 180 degrees (abnormal detector)

External pulser triggering (2015-10-06_11.30.jpg )
Pulsar trigger, +2.5V external from proton pulse (10ms before beam), lasts 1ms (width).

Convert pulse input from TTL to NIM to go into delay (15ms).
Start delay in dual timer, then output to trigger pulser (TTL)

 Pulser out of 5,6,7 EFED- extended to 32ms

Changed full scale on ADC to 0.2V,

E +-5mV thresh
Post sample 4096

5pm increased post sample for spd-02886 to 8192 as higher sample rate due to pick up.

Corrected EBED 4 offset.

(Again, all DAQ settings also recorded to the nToF erunbook)

Changed pulser to 13ms.

600mV in 50ohm coax with 25 hz pulser (positive signal) - see 2015-10-05_15.19.54.jpg and 2015-10-05_15.22.46.jpg



Leakage currents on detectors:

In air
10v: 0.03 micro amp det 1 leakage -dE
132v: 0.47micro amp det 2 leakage- E det

DE 0.04 micro amp
E 0.46 micro amp

Fairly self explanatory, note that images with time-stamps before 13.08.29 were taken before fitting the o-ring on the flange and therefore lateral positions will be different to photos after 13.08.29. Individual detector heights were not changed.

 20 micron (see 2015-10-05_12.46.59.jpg for detailed information) and 500 micron detectors

Testing preamps using pulser through common wire to both sets of preamps (see 2015-10-05_13.12.01.jpg).

64 x 14mA pos signals 15V
64 x 4mA neg signals 15V (see 2015-10-05_12.02.00.jpfor example on oscilloscope)

Sample has 105 microgram Li-6 (LiF - 95% enriched) 105 micron thick (2015-10-05_12.12.15.jpis Li-6 side up, 2015-10-05_12.12.26.jpis Li-6 side down... do not mix up!)

dE uses 22, 23 on ribbon connector, E 24, 25
dE from bias supply 2, E from bias 1

de and E pos signals needed to be inverted using jumpers. de negs not used, only 16ch (see 2015-10-05_14.59.12.jpg)


de first and last (0,15) are noisy- don't use. E detector ch 0 doesn't work.
