Because is something wrong I decided to measure the counts rate as function of threshold energy. Maybe my threshold was incorrect.
+
Below are my counts rate measurements as function of threshold voltage for n's detector. The source was CF252. The distance between source and n's PMT was about 50 cm. It was 1 PMT set up detector and experiment was hold in LDS on May 19 2011.

Below are my results for n's detector with HAMAMATSU PMT (-1500 V):

First I did my calibration for power supply voltage -1250 V:

So it looks like my previous threshold value (-500 mV) was not good. '''Let's set it up the -200 mV.''' And let's see does the n's detector sensitive to the source. The same set up and distances as before.

Below are my counts rate measurements as function of threshold voltage for n's detector. The source was CF252. The distance between source and n's PMT was about 50 cm. It was 1 PMT set up detector and experiment was hold in LDS on May 19 2011.

First the counts rate was calculated as:

[math]\mbox{Rate} = \frac{N_{\mbox{source}} - N_{\mbox{w/source}}}{\mbox{Time}}[/math]


First I did my calibration for power supply voltage -1250 V:

Second I did my calibration for power supply voltage -1500 V:

And bellow I overlay both cases (-1250 V and -1500 V)

There are no any plateaus, so what is the threshold should be?. Or maybe we are need to look at something different.


Let's recalculate all data using the formula:

[math]\mbox{Ratio} = \frac{R_s - R_{w/s}}{R_{w/s}}[/math]

Below my data and calculations for the case of -1500 V power supply voltage:

Table 1500V.png

Below my data and calculations for the case of -1250 V power supply voltage:

Table 1250V.png


And below I overlay my results (linear scale):

Det ratio lin.png

and in log scale:

Det ratio log.png


There are two important conclusions at least for this type of PMT was used:

  1. The desirable threshold is about -50 mV
  2. The power supply voltage is as expected -1500 V (there are no plateau for -1250 V)


Let's compare with what Jason did (at different place,different time and different PMT):

Below are Jason's data and calculations:

Table Jason.png

And below I overlay my and Jason's results (linear scale):

Det ratio1 lin.png

and in log scale:

Looks different.

  • PMT?
  • location?
