CH PAS Master Timeline

Timeline

This page will be used to document when each task is completed as a master reference for all work logged in the wiki. The plan is to make things easier when I need to pull things in the future.

May

5/10/21

• Attended intern orientation for first day at INL

• Completed training this week as well as began NaI plateau setup

5/11/21

• Put first coat of paint onto lead bricks to be used as shielding in PAS experiment

5/17/21

• Sheared a lead sheet into 6 rough 3"x3" squares to be used for attenuation measurements with NaI detectors

• Lead sheet pieces were wiped down with a wet wipe, duct taped, rewiped, and hammered flat.

5/18/21

• Began data collection for NaI plateau and operating point measurements

• Began writing analysis code for NaI plateau measurements

5/27/21

• Finished painting lead bricks and left to cure

June

6/1/21

• Moved dried/cured painted lead bricks from painting area to clean room

• Cleaned each brick with a wet wipe before transition into clean room, will be allowed to air dry on steel table

• • 50 bricks total: 49 half bricks and 1 full brick

6/8/21

• Finished collection and analysis of NaI detector plateau measurements, voltages ranging from 700V to 1400V

• • Analysis included Souce in & Source out plots, Signal:Noise, and background subtracted plots

6/9/21

• Began data colleciton for He3 Borated Poly attenuation study

6/11/21

• Finished data collection for He3 Borated Poly attenuation study

• Began writing analysis code for Borated Poly attenuation study

6/22/21

• Finished writing analysis code for He3 Borated Poly attenuation measurements and submitted plot to Paul

6/25/21

• Began BorAl attenuation measurements including overnight background runs

6/26/21

• First BorAl background run lasted 60000 seconds and ended at approximately 11:45am 6/26/21

• Continuing to run Borated Poly attenuation measurements with BorAl surrounding He3 tube
