05/16/2011 coincidence test

Set up like that:

the distance between PS and n's PMT is abot 50 cm

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

	PMT voltage, V	threshold, mV	discr. width, ns
PS1	-1000	-100	50
PS1	-1000	-100	50
n's	-1500	-200	10

First let's do the PS1+PS2 coincidence test

	counts	time	counts/sec
PS1	[math]7513\pm[/math]	60 min	[math]\pm[/math]
PS2	[math]9036\pm[/math]	60 min	[math]\pm[/math]
PS1+PS2	[math]251\pm[/math]	60 min	[math](\pm)\cdot 10^{-2}[/math]

Second do the PS1+PS2+n's coincidence test

The ratio of (PS+PS2) rate to (PS+PS2+n's) rate is

[math]\frac{7.7}{4.9} = 1.6[/math]
