keyword=BB Cerenkov gain measurement with LED
- Feeding a discriminated pulser copy into the T2 trigger
- T2 trigger delayed at DAQ weldment to align L1A (and ADC gate) with
pulser correlated signal from PMTs
- regular T2 trigger restored after test
Run 2218:
- HVs for 1--10 on, pulser on
- LED #11, #16, #20 plugged in
- LED drive pulse ampl. set to provide 1--2 p.e. pulse on the scope
for PMT 10
- 1.5V w/ FWHM 15ns
- Pedestal run
- T8 trigger dominated (others prescaled away)
Run 2219:
- HVs for 1--10 on, pulser on
- LED #11, #16, #20 plugged in
- LED drive pulse ampl. set to provide 1--2 p.e. pulse on the scope
for PMT 10
Run 2220:
- HVs for 1--10 on, pulser on
- LED #11, #16, #20 plugged in
- reduced drive voltage a bit to get better spectra for PMTs 1, 2
- 1.25V w/ FWHM 15ns
------------------------------------------------
Run 2221:
- HVs for 11--20 on, pulser on
- LED #1, #5, #10 plugged in
- drive voltage 1.75V w/ FWHM 15ns
- Pedestal run
- T8 trigger dominated (others prescaled away)
= ped for 17 is pretty bad
Run 2222:
- HVs for 11--20 on, pulser on
- LED #1, #5, #10 plugged in
- drive voltage 1.75V w/ FWHM 15ns
Run 2223:
- HVs for 11--20 on, pulser on
- LED #1, #5, #10 plugged in
- reduced drive voltage to 1.50V w/ FWHM 15ns
Run 2224:
- HVs for 11--20 on, pulser on
- LED #1, #5, #10 plugged in
- reduced drive voltage to 1.25V w/ FWHM 15ns
Run 2225:
- HVs for 11--20 on, pulser on
- LED #1, #5, #10 plugged in
- reduced drive voltage to 1.15V w/ FWHM 15ns
Run 2226:
- HVs for 11--20 on, pulser on
- LED #1, #5, #10 plugged in
- increased drive voltage to 2.00V w/ FWHM 15ns
- PMT 17 sucks
= big drift in PMT performance, I'm not sure what I'm looking at...
NOTE: Apparently the cable driving LED on #5 is flaky. Now using the cable
that had been driving LED on PMT 10
- Signal on PMT 17 is very noisy, but with the above change I can see
some reasonable correlated pulses now.
Run 2227: JUNK
Run 2228:
- HVs for 11--20 on, pulser on
- set drive voltage to 2.00V w/ FWHM 15ns
- pulser is unplugged from the LED on PMT 10, LED on PMT 5 is driven by
10s original cable
= eureka, signal on 17... a bit too large though
Run 2229:
- HVs for 11--20 on, pulser on
- set drive voltage to 1.50V w/ FWHM 15ns
- pulser is unplugged from the LED on PMT 10, LED on PMT 5 is driven by
10s original cable
= PMT 17 just sucks
Run 2230:
- HVs for 11--20 on, pulser on
- set drive voltage to 1.50V w/ FWHM 15ns
- pulser is unplugged from ALL LEDs
- should be just pedestal
