Scintillators

Two scintillators are placed on top and below the drift chamber

These scintillators have PMTs on both ends allow an initial position to be determined according to the time difference between the PMT hits.

Below is the calibration for Detector M and Detector G


HV(M1) = -1602 Volts HV(M2) = -1750 Volts

Normalized_and_BKG_subtracted_data_for_Det_M

M2 PMT is not making good contact with the light guide thus output pulses are below 300 mV, Pulses get bigger and more frequent if you push the PMT onto the scintilator.

HV(G1)= -1700 Volts HV(G2)= -1650 Volts

Normalized_and_BKG_subtracted_data_for_Det_G

G1 pulses were below expectations ( below 300 mV?) perhaps the PMT is not capturing the light.


M1 = TDC80 M2 = TDC81 G1 = TDC84 G2 = TDC86 Trig = TDC 95

M1 = TDC112 M2 = TDC113 G1 = TDC116 G2 = TDC118 Trig = TDC 127


Trigger Matching is ON resolution = 100 ps

Scint Time Difference

Before placing the scintillators at the locations shown above (one scint on each side of the drift chamber) we placed them on top of each other to measure the time between pulses when a cosmic ray passes through each. The Logic module width was 20 ns.

The time difference between two 4 cm thick scintillators placed on top of each other was measured. There seems to be 20 nsec wide time difference between the scintillator pulses in coincidence.
