Unpolarized Measurents:

A 2x4x8" aluminum brick was placed at the HRRL export in order to destroy the photon polarization. Rate measurements were made with the descriminator and HV settings used the past week. Then the constant fraction descriminator was replaced with a threshold descriminator on two detectors but not the reference detector.

ADC =0 => Reference Detector D

ADC = 1 => NaI

ADC=2 => Detector C

ADC = 3 => Detector A

channel # * 0.1675 ns/chan => ns

Root command to create and manipulate histograms

root [24] TH1F *RefDetRun229=new TH1F("RefDetRun229","RefDetRun229",800,0,800); root [25] PhotoFis->Draw("evt.ADCval*0.1675 >> RefDetRun229","evt.ADCnum==0 && evt.LastADCval>0");

2 Runs were taken with the following settings
