DC preamp at 5.6 Volts
Beam Line Configuration
A 1/4 inch diameter collimater is placed in the experimental cell just after a Helium bag inserted in the wall. A 2 cm thick scintillator is place over the beam downstream side of the collimator aligned using a laser. A 1 kG magnet placed after the drift chambers deflects charged particles onto a large scintillator paddle. A coincidence is required between the two scintillators.
Increased beam energy from 10 MeV to 12 MeV due to expected energy loss in front scintillator.
Runs
A
Decided to increase beam current until up to 10% of events in front scintilaltor pass through magnet after drift chamber and hit back scintillator. Ran in OR mode so a software coincidence can be formed based on measurement in ADC15 (ADC14 in C convention).
| Run # | Description |
| 431 | 0" from feedthrough , Sense wire at 1450 Volts, Gun voltage at 1.76 |
| 432 | 0" from feedthrough , Sense wire at 1500 Volts, Metalica (ADC6; C-convention) sees overflows and looks hot on scope compared to Plastika (ADC8: in ntuples),Gun voltage at 1.76 |
| 433 | -1" from feedthrough (beam should miss chamber), Sense wire at 1500 Volts, I see peds in Plastika but not metalica (Metalica is beam upstream of Plastika), The overflows are due to DC voltage/Gain being too high ,Gun voltage at 1.76 |
| 434 | 1" from feedthrough , Sense wire at 1500 Volts, Gun voltage at 1.76 |
| 435 | 2" from feedthrough , Sense wire at 1500 Volts, Gun voltage at 1.76 |
B
Change voltage on DC to values used on last day of January run 90/10 ArCo2
