The plot below shows 'neutron' & gamma rates (per pulse) averaged over a 4 minute window throughout run 6229, which had the target fall to the ground during the run. I suspect this occurred at about t=45 minutes based on the sudden drop in the gamma rates of forward detectors at this time. The top three histograms are a gamma cut in which PMT top/bot average is between -20 & 30 ns and bottom three are with a neutron cut between 50 & 140.

The late coming particles which arrive in the neutron ToF range are virtually unaffected by the dropping of the target, so I suspect that the source of these may have been in the shadow during recent runs with the large Al slab.

The plot below shows 'neutron' & gamma rates (per pulse) averaged over a 4 minute window throughout run 6229, which had the target fall to the ground during the run. I suspect this occurred at about t=45 minutes based on the sudden drop in the gamma rates of forward detectors at this time. The top three histograms are a gamma cut in which PMT top/bot average is between -20 & 30 ns and bottom three are with a neutron cut between 50 & 140.

The late coming particles which arrive in the neutron ToF range are virtually unaffected by the dropping of the target, so I suspect that the source of these may have been in the shadow during recent runs with the large Al slab.
