HV burn in
Begin burn in after at least 3 volume changes.
File:High Voltage Region 1 Sector 1 data.xls
Step 1: Set Voltage to 50 volts on all channels. Probe HVB to be sure that all sense, field, and guard wires have a voltage. (You should set current threshold to 10 microAmps on the HV supply)
Step 2: While monitoring the current, ramp the HV to the following
G:F:S= 525,-700,700
Step 3: Begin to take data recording the time and sense wire current as you ramp up the sense wire HV to 1400 volts while restricting the current draw to less than 10 micraAmps.
keep current under 10 micro amps while moving sense voltage up to 1400

| Run # | Date | Description |
| 3806 | 1/10/13 | 3 hour cosmic run, 16 channels with leading edge discriminators (-80 mV, 100 ns pulse width) |
| 3809 | 1/10/13 | cosmic run on 1/10. Signal cable 4 (ch. 48-63). 16 channels with leading edge discriminators (-80 mV, 100 ns pulse width). |
| 3810 | 1/10/13 | cosmic run from 1/10 - 1/14. Signal cable 4 (ch. 48-63). 16 channels with leading edge discriminators (-80 mV, 100 ns pulse width). Scintillator paddle F1/F2 on table above Sector 1, paddle I1/I2 below. |
| 3811 | 1/10/13 | |
| 3831 | 2/1/13 | Changed disciminator from 80 mV to 60 mV, We improved the window, installed HV & STB boards, purged and started taking cosmic data again, DC is sandwhiched between 2 scints with PMTs aligned (PMT on only one end of Scint is turned on) |
| 3833 | 2/4/13 | Changed disciminator from 60 mV to 30 mV |
| 3834 | 2/11/13 | Changed disciminator from 30 mV to 60 mV |
| 3835 | 2/19/13 | Changed disciminator from 60 mV to 20 mV |
Using ADB crate
(TDC1190[106]-TDC1190[104] = 3 ns) => PMT F1 - PMT I2 = Two PMTs that are on separate paddles and adjacent.
(TDC1190[106]-TDC1190[107] = 40 +/- 10 ns) => PMT F1 - PMT F2 = Two PMTs that are on the SAME paddle. Not sure why there is a 40 ns offset but the 10 ns wide range is because the paddles are about 70 cm long ( see CLAS12R1_CosmicTestStand#Scintillator_Timing_Studies)

Runlist Disc=100 mv
| Run # | Date | Description |
| 4008 | 4/11/13 | set ADB threshold to 100 , installed all 6 STB connectors, key was on the left as you face the ADC crate. Two top PMTs and one bottom PMT were in coincidence. The rate was about 0.5 Hz. at 9:41 on 4/12/13 I observed no voltage coming out of the discriminator monitor, the fuses were NOT blown. Hits seemed to disappear in the data. I recycled the ADB crate power and saw 100 mV on the discriminator monitor. Start a new run 40009 |
| 4009 | 4/12/13 | ADC threshold at 100 mV |
| 4014 | 4/16/13 | Removed cable from J10 connector on ADB crate and becan a cosmic run, the ROC & EB1 segfaulted after 57702 events |
| 4082 | 4/17/13 | first run with fully installed ADC crate & known map; ROC crashed after 5522 event around 20:53 |
| 4099 | 4/17/13 | ROC & EB crash after 4702 events, restarted all processes prior to taking this data |
| 4127 | 4/24/13 | 100 mv Threshold, S:F:G=1500:-750:550 ROC crashed because there was not enough memory for all the data, increased memory in the readoutlist R4127Histos |
| 4128 | 4/24/13 | run ended on 4/29 at 10:43,100 mv Threshold, S:F:G=1500:-750:550 re-centered scintillator based on occupancy plot from 4127, the event rate dropped after 2 hrs (event 5000) , TDC chan 32 -> 63 dropped out between event number 5000 and 360000, why did they start working? |
| 4129 | 4/29/13 | 100 mv Threshold, S:F:G=1500:-750:550 , lost hits after 50000 events |
| 4130 | 4/30/13 | 100 mv Threshold, S:F:G=1500:-750:550 , only 3, 16 channel ADB inputs are working (TDC channels 16->31, 64->95) |
| 4131 | 5/1/13 | 100 mv Threshold, S:F:G=1500:-750:550 , Moved DC output connectors so the channels centered on the scintillator are on the working ADB inputs (ribbon cable 3 is on ADB input 2, cable 4 is on input 5, and cable 5 is on ADB input 6); Only ADB input 6 shows hits |
| 4132 | 5/2/13 | 100 mv Threshold, S:F:G=1500:-750:550 , Moved DC output connectors so ribbon cable 2 is on ADB input 1, cable 5 is on input 4, and cable 6 is on ADB input 6, all others are unplugged |
| 4134 | 5/3/13 | 100 mv Threshold, S:F:G=1500:-750:550 , Moved DC output connectors so ribbon cable 2 is on ADB input 3, cable 5 is on input 5, and cable 6 is on ADB input 6, all others are unplugged |

| 4143 | 5/27/13 | 58 mv Threshold, S:F:G=1500:-750:550 , swapped last two inputs to ADB board for channels 64->96. Check if hits start failing on ch 80->96 |
| 4145 | 5/28/13 | 58 mv Threshold, S:F:G=1500:-750:550 , swapped middle inputs between two ADC boards (ch 17->32 echanged with ch 64->80), all channels were working??? lets switch it back, perhaps connector had bad connection? |
| 4146 | 5/29/13 | 58 mv Threshold, S:F:G=1500:-750:550 , everything connected back to order used in run 4142, run started at 08:12:35 on 5/29/13, ended at 07:39 on 6/10/13. 1,238,205 events , may have run low on ArC02 near the last day or two. |
HV-vs- Efficiency
Keep the discriminator constant and change the HV.
The HV should stay at the ratios of S:F:G=1:0.5:4/11

| 4166 | 7/5/13 | 58 mv Threshold, S:F:G=1400:-700:509 , swapped the ADB output cables such that ADB outputs in TDC chan 32->47 are now going into TDC channels 81->96. The problems with ut of time hits moved with the ADC output cables. The question now; Is it the cable, the connectors, or the TDC? |
The network will be down Thursday (6/20) night until Friday morning. Stop the DAQ Thursday at 5pm

Primitive Tracking
Linfit to layer -vs- y distance
The staggered layering of the cells in a single drift chamber super layer results in cells that are offset from each other by 30 degrees (PI/6). Below is a event illustrating the observation of ionization signals observed by 6 of the 96 instrumented wires caused by the passage of a cosmic ray.
A coordinate system is established which defines the X-direction along the depth of the superlayer and the Y-direction along the endplate of the chamber. The chamber is facing towards the sky so cosmic rays may enter the front face of a chamber. The location of the cells, with this coordinate system, may be determined using the equations below along with the row and column of the hit.
- TDC2row[]={5,3,1,6,4,2};
- x=TDC2row[TDCChannelNumber%6)];
- y=(TDCChannelNumber/6+1)*(1+0.25*sin(PI/3)/(1+sin(PI/6)))=(TDCChannelNumber/6+1)*(1.14434);
- if the layer number (X) is even then the Y position center needs to be shifted backward in the Y direction by
- y[HitNumber]-=sin(PI/3)/(1+sin(PI/6));
The uncertainty in the position is
- DeltaX=1/sqrt(12);
- DeltaY=sin(PI/3)/(1+sin(PI/6))/sqrt(3);
TDCChannelNumber is used to locate the row and column of the wire that saw an ionization signal.
Layer(X) Wire(Y) Time 3(3) 6(7.26221) 1415 1(1) 6(7.26221) 1368 6(6) 6(6.42074) 1308 4(4) 6(6.42074) 1311 2(2) 6(6.42074) 1332 5(5) 7(8.47257) 1419
A linear fit is performed assuming that the ionization event occurs in the center of the cell. Later a drift time function should be used to offset each hit from the center according to the drift time function that uses the TDC measurement as an input.
Below is the incident cosmic ray angle when only 6 hits occur in the chamber for run CLAS12_r4135
