This experimental setup does not contain BorAl

General run plan

Run source in and source out in experimental setup and background subtract with NaI

Move the source to different locations along the source tunnel and plot the different distances and count rates

Run source in and source out in experimental setup and background subtract with He3

Move the source to different locations along the source tunnel and plot the different distances and count rates

I will upload some models of the setup when I have updated the model to include the source and detector

Source at 10cm inside source tunnel

Running with NaI and ADC setup.

ADC is not calibrated. Running converter in and converter out.

Will swap to He3 detector following these and overlay the source in source out plots from the root files.

I will put all this into a table later

NaI with converter: Run 7031 -> Red

run start: 13:01:51
run stop: 13:12:07

NaI without converter: Run 7033 -> Blue

Run 7032 failed 7 minutes in and was stopped by the computer

run start: 13:17:30
run stop: 13:27:27 or 13:37:27

He3 Runs

He3 no converter: Run 7034 -> Blue

run start: 15:46:25
run stop: 15:57:38

He3 with converter: Run 7035 -> Red

run start: 16:01:34
run stop: 16:11:28
