#The back wall was a source of photons that can be reduced best with blinders
 +
#The ToF spectrum needs better separation between gamma flash and neutrons, Move detectors back?
 +
#The tunnel of love reduced the photon singles rate by about 10% for D120 & D150 (compare runs 5300 & 5301).
 +
#Opening the collimator slit fully caused gamma flash to appear close to the neutron ToF
 +
#Neutron singles rate in D225 was within the desired rate of 2e-3 n/pulse for a thorium plate target at 90 degrees to the beam
 +
#D30's rate decreases by a factor of three for every inch of lead shielding added to the front
 +
#pair spectrometer magnet has little impact on detector background
 +
#beam tuning may increase photon flash.
 +
#determine collimator size to produce photon cone that is contained within the photon dump (blinders)
 +
#cleanup collimator inside wall separating accelerator room and experimental cell

Tuning impact on gamma flash

We set up a veto to create a signal that represented the second peak of the gamma flash in D270 & others. A veto pulse was created for the LED to prevent it from outputing a logic high during the first 20 ns after the beam pulse.

End of Run summary

  1. The back wall was a source of photons that can be reduced best with blinders
  2. The ToF spectrum needs better separation between gamma flash and neutrons, Move detectors back?
  3. The tunnel of love reduced the photon singles rate by about 10% for D120 & D150 (compare runs 5300 & 5301).
  4. Opening the collimator slit fully caused gamma flash to appear close to the neutron ToF
  5. Neutron singles rate in D225 was within the desired rate of 2e-3 n/pulse for a thorium plate target at 90 degrees to the beam
  6. D30's rate decreases by a factor of three for every inch of lead shielding added to the front
  7. pair spectrometer magnet has little impact on detector background
  8. beam tuning may increase photon flash.
  9. determine collimator size to produce photon cone that is contained within the photon dump (blinders)
  10. cleanup collimator inside wall separating accelerator room and experimental cell
