Pulse generator problem. What exactly did we trigger on?  Was there a shift in the pulse that was sent to us wrt the gun pulse

for generating the ADC (integration) gate?  We saw a shifting in the gate.  We need to systematically
 +
study if there is a shift.  Note that things went to hell after run 301.  We did not change anything
 +
except for the width of the gate from 600 ns to 1000 ns.  By increasing the width of the gate we increased
 +
the integration time and the ADC peak from PLASTIKA went from two peaks (around channel 200) to a nice gaussianlike
 +
peak right at channel 500.  [Check this].  At run 301 we had the scintillators in the gate,  albeit with rather low gain.
 +
We then increased the voltages and adjusted thresholds accordingly.  Then  mysteriously the scintillators fell outside the

gate and we had no ADCs from the scintillators.  [Were the operators shifting the beam tune to maximize response from the
 +
scintillators?]
 +
 +
The peak then magically came back on run 318 and vanished after run 324.  In the best case scenario we have 5 good data
 +
points:  (1.0, 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, and 0.2 mm).
 +
 +
We know the shift was not due to slop in the translation table.  The position at the end of the run 334 was +50 mm. 
 +
We returned to the zero point shifting the 2-axis by  2.0 units in the GUI (2.0 in).
 +
 +
We need belly buttons, lemo cables, connectors: lemo/BNC.  Lots and lots of cables.
 +
 +
We need cleaner and smaller scintillators.  Nice undergrad project.

Pulse generator problem. What exactly did we trigger on? Was there a shift in the pulse that was sent to us wrt the gun pulse for generating the ADC (integration) gate? We saw a shifting in the gate. We need to systematically study if there is a shift. Note that things went to hell after run 301. We did not change anything except for the width of the gate from 600 ns to 1000 ns.

We need cleaner and smaller scintillators. Nice undergrad project.
