keyword=BCM calibration: some result.Here are some results from the BCM calibration we did on 10-14.
Short summary:
We should use the BCM entries multiplied by a factor 3 for current ranging from 1 to 10 uA. This should give us a 0.5% measurement of the charge. I still have a few steps to go through before implementing the calibration in the analysis code. Please read and feel free to comment.
Some details:
When we did take the data, the 1024 Hz clock was double counting so I used the 103.7 kHz clock as a time normalizer. All results are relative to the 103.7 kHz clock. First I extracted the beam current measured in the injector (Faraday cup and OLO2 readings) from BcmLog_159 and BCMLog_160. I did correlate the beam on-off period with data in coda file 7353 and 7354 and extracted the corresponding slope of the scaler reading Hall A bcms (u1,u3,u10, d,1,d3 and d10). These results are in text file first_cal.txt. Then I fitted the hall bcms against the readings of OLO2 in various ranges: 50->2 uA for u1 and d1, 10->1 ua for u3 and d3 and finally 5->0.5 uA for u1 and d10. Finally, I computed residuals and concluded that we should be ok using u3 and d3 in the range of 1 to 10 uA. In that range, the calibration should be ok within a 0.5% precision.
