We used:

-detector A to calibrate all the TDCs;

-LeCroy octal discriminator to produce standard negative pulses;

-passive delay line to calibrate TDCs in the region < 100 ns;

-delay amplifier TENNELEC TC215 to calibrate TDCs in the region > 250 ns;

Range of all three TDCs was set to 50nsx100 (upper plot) 200nsx10 (lower plot).

ADC-TAC pair was chosen in such a way that we used during the experiment.

Comparison of old and new calibration coefficients

Old calibration.jpg

The width of photon peak is about 10.3 ns for old calibration.

New calibration.jpg

The width of photon peak is about 32.3 ns for new calibration.
