| 936 | 08/20/2012 | Marco | 60158 (HMS) | -1.810 | PMT Scanning | Scanning setup changed. Since the optical filter was broken, it was reglued to the reference PMT. LED connector was improved, reducing chances of bad connection. Doubt about the quality of the Signal cable. Scanning for test of the setup. Pulse pot high 7.5 (at +5V) and keep width 4 (at 15ns). Scanning with 10x10x1k. Reference PMT (Ref_936). | Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
|
| 937 | 08/20/2012 | Marco | 60158 (HMS) | -1.810 | PMT Scanning | Running a detailed scan to check setup. Same configuration as above, just changing spacial resolution: 100x100 matrix with 1k points in each position. (Ref_937). Perhaps signal cable has a bad contact. | Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
|
| 938 | 08/21/2012 | Marco | 60158 (HMS) | -1.800 | PMT Scanning | Same as run #937. Exchanging Signal cable with Trigger cable, to analyze the suspect of a bad contact in the Signal cable. Reference PMT: (Ref_938). Run stop before conclusion. | Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
|
| 939 | 08/22/2012 | Marco | 60158 (HMS) | -1.800 | PMT Scanning | Same as run #938. Reference PMT: (Ref_939). PMT was too far from the LED (~5cm) and colimator was durty (silicon). | Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
|
| 940 | 08/22/2012 | Marco | 60158 (HMS) | -1.800 | PMT Scanning | PMT 1cm from the colimator. Reference PMT: (Ref_940). Problems with the cable inside the box. It moved the PMT. | Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
|
| 941 | 08/23/2012 | Marco | 60158 (HMS) | -1.800 | PMT Scanning | Same as run #940 (cables position fixed). Reference PMT: (Ref_941). Good run! Still need calibration to number of photoelectrons... | Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
|
| 942 | 08/23/2012 | Marco | (Blast) | -1.800 | PMT Scanning | Same as run #941, changing PMT. Reference PMT: (Ref_942). Still need calibration to number of photoelectrons... Still have problems with the seput. The reference signal also show that the problem now is with the LED. I suspect that one of the cables connector is not good (the one connected to the LED, in the LED connection itself), so I tried to fix it for next run. | Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
|
| 943 | 08/24/2012 | Marco | (Blast) | -1.800 | PMT Scanning | Same as run #942, trying to fix cable connected to LED. Reference PMT: (Ref_943). Scan stopped before just to analyze the conditions. Good run, setup seems to be fixed now. Still need calibration to number of photoelectrons... | Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
|
| 944 | 08/24/2012 | Marco | (Blast) | -1.800 | PMT Scanning | Same as run #942. CODA crashed. | - |

|
| 951 | 08/27/2012 | Marco | (Blast) | -1.800 | PMT Scanning | Trying to fix problem on light intensity (see inomogeneity on rerefence PMT from run #950).
