6721 | Logic Unit in AND for Y-88 sample # 130113-004, post amp at 20, 17 hrs 56 min 48 sec, some problem with the HpGe spectrum, the NaI looks fine | |
6722 | - | |
runs 5703 to 6722 are not useful for coincidence, the delay inserted into the HpGe CFD would ocaisionally more the HpGe singal outside the ADC gate. | ||

Somehow at delay switch was flipped up to the 1 usec position instead of the 0.1 usec position on the HpGe
Hazards of taking data in a common use environment I guess
I didn't notice it before because the HpGe output was barely making it into the gate
Improved coincidence setup
