Notes from biweekly meetings
5/27/21
To Do List
- Add dual timer configuration to plateau page (X)
- Continue to fine tune operating point of NaI detector and upload plateaus/signal:noise plots (X)
- Overhauled analysis code throughout the week of 6/1/21 to calculate all rates, uncertainties, background subtractions, and signal to noise ratios. Code now generates 3 plots with all errors included -> I need to create a code repository (could use github)
- NaI attenuation measurements (with BorAl and try different types of poly (unborated, purple, green)) -> working with He3 instead
- Begin experimental setup in clean room (X)
- Test HPGe detector -> Work has begun on this by a colleague
- Complete latest assigned training module (X)
- Speak to Roy Dunker who has agreed to let us use a second HPGe detector for back-to-back measurements in later phase of feasibility studies at ISU (X)
- Move painted lead bricks to clean room (X)
- Linked manual for HPGe detector to wiki pages (X)
- Add files sent by collaborator on HPGe detector page
- Rerun 1000V source in plateau data, looks like a discontinuity in the data set starting at the 150mV threshold. Could be my mistake, need to verify. (X)
- Verified that there is a 3x drop in Hz between 135mV-155mV threshold level at 1000V. Unsure what could cause this (X)
- Finish 1100V source out data collection (X)
- Rebuild computer with updated operating system and rebuilt with newest version of root -> moved to next list
- Run 950V plateau data due to discontinuity in data sets 1000V & 1050V (X)
- Create wiki page for DD generator page
- Include shielding papers and manuals -> will talk to Joe about this
- Paul got his tape measure unstuck from the clean room (X)
- We're all very proud of him
