The voltages, thresholds and widths are:

PMT voltage, V threshold, mV discr. width, ns
PS1 -1000 -80 20
PS1 -1000 -80 10


Let's do the 2n correlation test with CF252 source. The voltages and thresholds are the same. First the set up is like:

○ PS1 and PS2 are parallel to each other and are faced to the source.
○ the CF252 source in the middle
○ the distance between PS1(PS2) and source is 6 cm

The total number of events (2n fission events + random coincident) are:

total counts time counts/min counts/sec
PS1 [math]255977\pm505.9[/math] 10 min [math]25597.7\pm50.6[/math] [math]426.63\pm0.84[/math]
PS1 [math]421917\pm649.5[/math] 10 min [math]42191.7\pm64.9[/math] [math]703.19\pm1.08[/math]
PS1+PS2 [math]1224\pm34.9[/math] 10 min [math]122.4\pm3.5[/math] [math]2.04\pm0.06[/math]


Second the set up is like:

○ PS1 and PS2 are perpendicular to each other and are faced to the source.
○ the CF252 source in the middle
○ the distance between PS1(PS2) and source is 6 cm

The total number of events (2n fission events + random coincident) are:

total counts time counts/min counts/sec
PS1 [math]250116\pm500.1[/math] 10 min [math]25011.6\pm50.0[/math] [math]416.86\pm0.83[/math]
PS1 [math]414774\pm644.0[/math] 10 min [math]64.4\pm64.9[/math] [math]691.29\pm1.07[/math]
PS1+PS2 [math]1359\pm36.9[/math] 10 min [math]135.9\pm3.7[/math] [math]2.26\pm0.06[/math]
