05/13/2011 coincidence test

Go Back

Set up like that:

the distance between PS and n's PMT is abot 80 cm

The voltages and thresholds are as below. Note: I increased my thresholds for PS1 and PS2 from 80 mV up to 100 mV according to mu previous calibration threshold line.

	PMT voltage, V	threshold, mV	discr. width, ns
PS1	-1500	-80	100
PS1	-1500	-80	100
n's	-1500	-200	10

Let's do first the coincidence test PS1+PS2

	counts	time	counts/sec
PS1	[math]2823\pm53.1[/math]	20 min	[math]2.35\pm0.04[/math]
PS2	[math]3091\pm55.6[/math]	20 min	[math]2.58\pm0.05[/math]
PS1+PS2	[math]93\pm9.6[/math]	20 min	[math](7.7\pm0.8)\cdot 10^{-2}[/math]

The scope picture of PS1+PS2 coincidence event like:

Let's do second the coincidence test PS1+PS2+n's

	counts	time	counts/sec
PS1	[math]\pm[/math]	20 min	[math]\pm[/math]
PS2	[math]\pm[/math]	20 min	[math]\pm[/math]
PS1+PS2	[math]\pm[/math]	20 min	[math](\pm)\cdot 10^{-2}[/math]

The scope picture of PS1+PS2 coincidence event like:
