5937 100, 7 0.1 shutter open, V_cath = V_GEM,noise peak channel 74
5948 100, 7 1.15 shutter open, detector is on, no signal overlapping, reached to te signal highest rate, with almost 100% signal to noise ratio.

The following run has the same setting as the last run, unless there is achange written in the notes.


Charge Calibration

The peak sensing ADC was calibrated using stanford pulse generator, using hte same settings for the spectroscopic amplifier (coarse gain is 100, intergrate is 1, BLR high), the amp. (bipolar) output is delayed then send to the peak sensing ADC ch#7.

Peak sensing is sensitive shows not show any difference between shutter open and shutter close, but it shows the change in rate for each case. The charge is directly proportional to the channel number except for the last case that shows the opposite. Also it shows a change of 40 channels as the voltage drops 50V, except for the last two cases, one shoes a drop of 20 channels and the other shows an increase to channel 500. The peak resolution increases as the GEM voltage increases, a jump to channel 500 at lowest value of voltage for the GEM, but it still does not improve the peak resolution.
