Run 297:

First measurement with ADCs. Zero position (beam hitting trumpet).

Run 298:

Move Drift chamber 1 cm (-20,000 on axis 2, 0.4 [inches] left arrow on GUI) away from trumpet.

We had no PMT coincidences (OR was on).

This run should be ignored because table position meter ("Axis-3" MC 2000) was on and that caused noise on PMT signals.

Run 298:

Run 300.

gate width: 600ns.  PMT gains too low.  Timing is around 100 ns out of time. Plastica and Metalica look good.  

Run 301

Increase gate width to 1 us. PMTs still in the ADCs, but gains are too low. Longer gate width allows for complete integration of the wirechamber ADCs. Signals are better. Position at 1cm from trumpet of feedthrough. 2376 evts.

Front scint 1160
Middle scint 1100

=Run 302

Front scint 1220, Disc threshold 200 mV (Big paddle)
Middle scint 1175, Disc Threshold 51 mV rate is around 1 Hz.

Run 303

Increase current to 15 Hz

FastClear IN

Run 304

Increase current to 15 Hz

FastClear OUT


Run 305

Increase current to 15 Hz

FastClear In

Moved FastClear to 20 us from gate.


Run 306

Run 307

Everything ORed. Singles. Something wrong with the ADCs. Swap cables to ADC 7 and 8 (plastica and metalica)

Run 308

Plastica SW3 --> Ch. 7 (ADC6) Metalica SW4 Ch. 6 (ADC5) Plastica SW4 --> Ch. 8 (ADC7)

FastClear OUT.

Run 309

Metalica SW4: Ch. 7 (ADC 6)

Plastica SW4 Ch. 8 (ADC 7)

Has stuff in Chan. 8 and 7. Singles (ORed).

FastClear OUT

Run 310

FastClear IN.


Nothing

Run 311

Swap polarity of FastClear. Singles.


Run 312

FastClear IN. Coincidences.

Stuff in Ch. 9 nothing in Ch. 8. nothing in Ch. 7

Run 313

gate width 600 ns FC in

Run 314

FC out

Run 315

HV: SW: +1500V GW: +750V, FW: -750V

Run 315

HV: SW: +1500V GW: +750V, FW: -750V

HV: SW: +1550V GW: +775V, FW: -775V No change in Ch 9. It does not change anything in the ADC.

HV: SW: +1500V GW: +750V, FW: -750V

Run 317

Not gated right. Wchmbr pulses now in gate.

Run 318

sw 4 + 10mm (319 junk)


Run 320

sw 4 +8mm.

Run 321 junk

Run 322

sw 4 +6mm.

Run 323

sw 4 +4mm.
