When Target T1 goes in and Accelerator side lights up( as viewed by scintillator Kelly) and Illyusha (when next to the beam exit window) also lights.

There is no Pb around T1.

Lets directionally shield Illyusha (when positioned next to the hallway) to determine how much lead to add around T1.


ADC3 = NaI Left ADC7 = NaI Right

TDC 29 = NaI right

TDC 31 = NaI left

Area Conditions

Move Illyusha so it is right next to experimental side flag, no shielding.

Take data using 3 MeV electrons on the T2 target.

The Scintillator known as Kelly is has an output of about 1 Volt.

Scintillator and Quartz cabling

Changed the scintillator detector known as "Jenni" so its HV is controlled remotely through connector SHV59A7 and its signal is on connector 223A7.

Kelly is the scintillator on the accelerator side.

The quartz detector is on connector SHV59A8 and the signal on 223A8.
