Cosmic Runs

CLAS12R1_CosmicTestStand

3811

Cosmic rays were used to measure drift chamber time spectra with respect to scintillators placed above and below the drift chambers (more details are at the wiki location CLAS12R1_CosmicTestStand)

Fig 23 from "The CLAS drift chamber system", M. Mestayer, et. al., NIM A, Volume 449, Issues 1–2, 11 July 2000, Pages 81–111	cosmic run from 1/10 - 1/14. Signal cable 4 (ch. 48-63). 16 channels with leading edge discriminators (-80 mV, 100 ns pulse width).	Cosmics runs with lower discriminator thresholds

Cosmic measurements

Run #	Date	Description
3806	1/10/13	3 hour cosmic run, 16 channels with leading edge discriminators (-80 mV, 100 ns pulse width)
3809	1/10/13	cosmic run on 1/10. Signal cable 4 (ch. 48-63). 16 channels with leading edge discriminators (-80 mV, 100 ns pulse width).
3810	1/10/13	cosmic run from 1/10 - 1/14. Signal cable 4 (ch. 48-63). 16 channels with leading edge discriminators (-80 mV, 100 ns pulse width). Scintillator paddle F1/F2 on table above Sector 1, paddle I1/I2 below.
3811	1/10/13
3831	2/1/13	Changed disciminator from 80 mV to 60 mV, We improved the window, installed HV & STB boards, purged and started taking cosmic data again, DC is sandwhiched between 2 scints with PMTs aligned (PMT on only one end of Scint is turned on)
3833	2/4/13	Changed disciminator from 60 mV to 30 mV
3834	2/11/13	Changed disciminator from 30 mV to 60 mV
