Time Cuts

The first step in the PAA process is to identify the time cuts used for the split run. This must be done for all samples (50%,10%,0.1%, and 0.04%).

50% Sage/Se Mixture Time Cuts

The 50% Se/Sage mixture was measure on Detector B (unshielded, so watch the SNR) on 5/24/17 for a total of 2130.540 seconds. The outer pure witness Se was measure first, and sub-run was roughly 300 seconds for the samples of interest, and 60 seconds for the Co-60 flag. The root command used to draw the timing information was

TTree* tree = MPA;

MPA->Draw("evt.Chan:evt.Sec>>hist2","evt.ADCid == 1");

which produced the histogram below

This seems a little sloppy, lets try a 1D histogram instead to see if the cuts are more clear

ROOT Command: MPA->Draw("evt.Sec>>hist","ADCid==1","");

This produced the histogram below

This seems much cleaner and clearly shows the time cuts

The time cuts are

0-300 (Pure Se)

375-440 (Co-60)

450-700 (Mixture)

715-780 (Co-60)

800-1010 (Pure Se)

1055-1150 (Co-60)

1160-1420 (Mixture)

1425-1495 (Co-60)

1500-1800 (Pure Se)

1810-1870 (Co-60)

1880-2100 (Mixture)

10% Sage/Se Mixture Time Cuts

The 10% Se/Sage mixture was measured on Detector A (shielded) on 5/25/17 for a total of 5136.343 seconds. The mixture was measured first, and a sub-run was roughly 300 seconds for the Se samples and 60 seconds for the Co-60 flag. The root commands used were

TTree* tree = MPA;

MPA->Draw("evt.Chan:evt.Sec>>hist2","evt.ADCid == 0");

The time cut information is as follows

0-300 (Mixture)

300-360 (Co-60)

400-640 ( Pure Se)

680-710 (Co-60)

730-1020 (Mixture)

1030-1080 (Co-60)

1100-1360 ( Pure Se)

1400-1440 (Co-60)

1480-1775 (Mixture)

1800-1840 (Co-60)

1875-2150 (Pure Se)

2190-2220 (Co-60)

2250-2550 (Mixture)

2590-2620 (Co-60)

2650-2930 (Pure Se)

2950-3000 (Co-60)

3050-3300 (Mixture)

3390-3350 (Co-60)

3400-3690 (Pure Se)

3700-3750 (Co-60)

3775-4050 (Mixture)

4060-4100 (Co-60)

4120-4400 (Pure Se)

4420-4470 (Co-60)

4480-4770 (Mixture)

4790-4820 (Co-60)

4840-5130 (Pure Se)

0.1% Sage/Se Mixture Time Cuts

The 0.1% Se/Sage mixture was measured on Detector A (shielded) on 5/24/17 for a total of 2130.540 seconds. The mixture was measured first, and a sub-run was roughly 300 seconds for the Se samples and 60 seconds for the Co-60 flag. The root commands used were

TTree* tree = MPA;

MPA->Draw("evt.Chan:evt.Sec>>hist2","evt.ADCid == 0");

which produced the histogram below

This seems a little sloppy, so let's repeat the procedure for the 50% sample

ROOT Command:ROOT Command: MPA->Draw("evt.Sec>>hist","ADCid==0","");

This produced the histogram below

This is again much better than the 2D histogram.

The time cuts are

0-300 (Mixture)

306-340 (Co-60)

376-640 (Pure Se)

650-720 (Co-60)

730-1010 (Mixture)

1020-1050 (Co-60)

1100-1350 (Pure Se)

1400-1460 (Co-60)

1470-1730 (Mixture)

1735-1800 (Co-60)

1804-2140 (Pure Se)

The histogram for the time cuts of the second run is shown below

The time cuts are

0-240 (Outer Se)

245-300 (Co-60)

305-820 (Mixture)

0.04% Sample Time Cuts

The 0.04% Se/Sage mixture was measured on Detector A (shielded) on 5/25/17 for a total of 1711.891 seconds. The mixture was measured first, and a sub-run was roughly 300 seconds for the Se samples and 60 seconds for the Co-60 flag. The root commands used were

TTree* tree = MPA;

MPA->Draw("evt.Sec>>hist2","evt.ADCid == 0");

The histogram representing the time cuts for the first run are shown below

The time cuts for this run are

0-290 (Mixture)

295-360 (Co-60)

370-684 (Pure Se)

The histogram representing the time cuts for the second run are shown below

The time cuts for this run are

0-300 (Mixture)

Gamma Spectrum Analysis

50% Sample Analysis

Below is the analysis table for the 50% Se/Sage mixture. The 103 keV line of Se-81m corresponds to a channel # of 130. Due to the sloppiness of the spectrum, I will use a linear + Gaussian fitting function and restrict my analysis to 6 channels because there are other energy lines nearby.
