Set up like that:

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.

1. The distance between PS and n's PMT is about 80 cm

counts time counts/sec
PS1 [math]2823\pm53.1[/math] 20 min [math]2.35\pm0.04[/math]
PS2 [math]3091\pm55.6[/math] 20 min [math]2.58\pm0.05[/math]
PS1+PS2 [math]93\pm9.6[/math] 20 min [math](7.7\pm0.8)\cdot 10^{-2}[/math]

2. The distance between PS and n's PMT is about 50 cm

counts time counts/sec
PS1 [math]7513\pm86.5[/math] 60 min [math]2.09\pm0.02[/math]
PS2 [math]9036\pm95.1[/math] 60 min [math]2.51\pm0.03[/math]
PS1+PS2 [math]251\pm15.8[/math] 60 min [math](6.9\pm0.4)\cdot 10^{-2}[/math]


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

1. The distance between PS and n's PMT is about 80 cm

counts time counts/sec
PS1 [math]3229\pm56.8[/math] 20 min [math]2.69\pm0.05[/math]
PS2 [math]3192\pm56.5[/math] 20 min [math]2.66\pm0.05[/math]
PS1+PS2+n's [math]59\pm7.7[/math] 20 min [math](4.9\pm0.6)\cdot 10^{-2}[/math]

2. The distance between PS and n's PMT is about 50 cm

counts time counts/sec
PS1 [math]7700\pm87.7[/math] 60 min [math]2.14\pm0.02[/math]
PS2 [math]9060\pm95.2[/math] 60 min [math]2.52\pm0.03[/math]
PS1+PS2+n's [math]214\pm14.6[/math] 60 min [math](5.9\pm0.4)\cdot 10^{-2}[/math]
