keyword=Profile Scanner and Spect DAQ runs
I was doing a scan during a run where there was no beam and I noticed a small change in signal in the middle of the drift chamber region probably caused by activation. I thought it might be a good idea to start the Spectrometer DAQ and take a few runs moving the position around and watching the differences in rate. The run data itself may be useless but I saw changes in rate due to position as follows:
Run 1208-junk
Run 1209-junk
Run 1210:
at position (15,28)
R: 8.74kHz
L: 7.58kHz
at position (2,28)
R: 9.63kHz
L: 9.47kHz
at position (30,28)
R: 8.25kHz
L: 7.25kHz
Run 1211
at position (18,30)
R: 8.54kHz
L: 7.42kHz
at position (2,30)
R: 9.62kHz
L: 9.26kHz
This may be misleading because the closer the scanners are to (0,something) the more the wires bend, which may cause an increase in noise...
