Counting without a source (Background)
GEM and Sci. are in coincidence, GEM detector operating voltage is 2.7, 3.1V for GEM and cathode successively, both of the PMT's have 1kV input voltage.
The disc. setup is as determined in the previous measurements, the count rate is 0.001 /min for scintillator-GEM coincidence
Counting Experiemnt using 3 scales including tennelec tc 534
GEM Counts
- Without Source
| Counting Time (min.) | Number of Counts | Count rate (cout./min.) | Notes |
| 15 | 882 | 59 |
- With Source
| Counting Time (min.) | Number of Counts | Count rate (cout./min) | Notes |
| 120 | 7390 | 60 | using the new counter ortec sophiia has only 1 cout/s |
| 120 | 16565 | 138 | change to the same counter used before for GEM ortec 875 without 2.3 count/s |
| 433 | 37865 | 87 | 1.4 count/s, overnight |
| 230 | 29618 | 1.29 | 2.1 count/s |
- increasing the voltage to 2.85 kV, and 3.45 kV
without source coicidence of the three is 25 when it counted for 283 min.
with a soruce 300 counts in 970 min. ,we may need to increase the voltage again.
