Andreas:

Detector array: Frame prepared. MIXE will use their drift chamber, so downstream detectors still need to be placed in

Autofilling: New system, filling on each arm --> Goes quite slow, we need to have a look at that

 

Michael:

Recalibrating after gain drift correction:

  • Gaussian fits from -1 sigma --> ~20 eV residual remaining around 700 keV (potassium 2p-1s)
  • Hypermet+gaussian+step --> Similar values --> Energy calibration seems quite well under control

Remark from Frederik: We should be careful with INL errors (local non-continuous behavior in the ADC)

We should change the dynamic range for running potassium

Trapezoid filter optimization:

  • Saving 50k clock ticks to tune detectors offline --> Threshold high to avoid collecting data on Compton
  • Fit exponential tail of waveforms (~1000 events) --> Fit in narrow range provides slight difference with full range (use narrow range!)
  • Trapezoid is flat within less than 1 adc channel
  • Next up: optimize gap and peaking time --> Michael will follow up on this

Analyzer updates: (see elog entries for details)

  • Bug fixes
  • Tree writer can now also save raw germanium events (mainly intended for trapezoid optimization)
  • Addition of exact extrapolation method for ELET
  • For any specific requests ask Frederik or Michael

 

Frederik:

Request Andreas: Update midas for beamtime? Set point interface in midas?

Request Michael: Analysis during beamtime, rerunning the analyzer to do gaindrift correction

VME + DAQ PC are currently out (some tests will be done with the clover at PSI): When the wall goes up, Cesar wants to do some tests for Quartet

 

Stella:

Filling with new system takes long. ~45 mins for one previously filled detector yesterday --> Looking for a solution, Stella will follow up on this

 

Publication on 2022 data:

General idea: Focus on different targets and their capture rate; do not put too much focus on target making and it's issues

Stella will check once more on the intensities with the cascade code

There are minutes attached to this event. Show them.
