Analysis

Main points:

  1. TDC settings, comon start, common stop mode.
  2. TDC range.
  3. changing the TDC settings
  4. The difference in time scale between the oold and the new TDC settings (scintillator time)
  5. write a program for direct analysis of neutron spectrum based on TDC and QDC, and TDC and Peak sensing ADC.
  6. The best best GEM operating voltage as the beam is ON.
