RunPlan
BeamTune
Tune beam into zero line, max current, 10.5 MeV energy, 20 ns width, 300 Hz rep rate
For Reference, below is the the tune used on last day of July 2012 Positron run
https://wiki.iac.isu.edu/index.php/Beam_Test_Jul_27_2012#Tune
Measure Emittance
Ilyusha Background measurements
Previous Background tests during 2n correlation run
https://wiki.iac.isu.edu/index.php/2n_BKG_data
HV=1000 CFD = -12 mV
Previous run during neutron correlation experiment found 1 gamma/15 electron beam pulses
Tune beam into zero line, max current, 10.5 MeV energy, 20 ns width, 300 Hz rep rate
1.) Take a run with no shielding around Ilyusha
2.) Move Pb bricks around the scintillator to determine direction of background
3.) add shielding to accelerator
compare previous measurements & adjust threshold & Width

beam current decreased from 5 to 3 mA during the measurements ; must measure beam current for each measurement.
Add 3 Pb Bricks to accelerator side
We discovered that a gate vavle was slowly closing due to a gas pressure problem. This explains why the rates were dropping above during the threshold tests.

adding 5" of Pb between detector and accelerator decreased the rate from to 1/60 beam pulses
The cosmic + RF noise rate = 1/50 pulses
Increased PMT Voltage by 100 and decrease beam current
