Analog Timing signals
Scope picture
Raw TDC spectrum corresponding to the above scope picture:
Applying the calibration:
Accelerator parameters:
Pulse width 2 ns
Ee = 10.5 MeV
Peak current 30 mA
QDC channel # 25 corresponds to BLUT (channel # 10 on the splitter).
QDC channels [22,26] have cross talk issues.
QDC channel # 17 corresponds to Faraday Cup (channel #2 on the splitter).
run# 8753: Production run with D2O target in:
Puls width 2 ns
Ee = 10.5 MeV
Current: during the run the value of peak current was changed from 30 mA to 400 mA.
TOF spectra obtained during the run with the detector BLUB:
TDC[17] = BLUB detector saw 81160 beam pulses for the above spectrum. 29640 of those pulses produced hits in the TDC. The remaining beam pulses did not result in a signal in the detector.
218 Neutron candidates were present in the 29640 pulses ( 218/81160 = 1n /372 pulses). 2746 photons were found out of the 29640 pulses (29422 / 81160 = 1 gamma / 3 pulses).
QDC spectra from Faraday Cup:
Peak Current 500 mA, run 8754
QDC has a peak at 1116 channel.
Peak Current 300 mA, run 8755
QDC has a peak at 685 channel.
Peak Current 30 mA, run 8756
QDC has a peak at 112 channel.
Peak Current 100 mA, run 8757
QDC has a peak at 289 channel.
