| Run Number | Date | User | PMT | High Voltage | Experiment | Description and observations | Image |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 635 | 05/25/2012 | Marco | 09561 | -1.800 | PMT Scanning | Remove LED, insert another paper attenuator (working now with 2 layers), cut a piece of the blue rubber that protects the LED contacts (trying to make better contact). Increase pulse for pot high 10 (at +5V) and keep width 4 (at 15ns). Scanning with 10x10x1k. Reference PMT (Ref_635) really stable now! Two suspects: the LED must work with 5V for this very fast pulse (don`t know the resistor that is connected in series with it) or the bad contact was fixed. | Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

| 636 | 05/25/2012 | Marco | 09561 | -1.798 | PMT Scanning | Working in the same conditions of run #635. 100x100x1k scanning. Reference PMT signal: Ref_636. Color scale in number of photoelectrons (calibration in run #558). Now the LED is constant! It is important to say that the amount of light (using just two attenuator papers) is big. | Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
|
| 640 | 05/30/2012 | Nathaniel | 09561 | -1.700 | PMT Gain | I now am running similar tests to the gains tests in runs 556-563. However this time I am using Dark Box 1 instead of Dark Box 2. This will allow systematic error analysis. | Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

| - | 05/30/2012 | Nathaniel | 09561 | - | PMT Gain | Here is the Spreadsheet with all the Data and the plots. It appears that the 2 boxes are very close, they are within ~12% of each other. Not bad? | File:PMT Gain 1.xls |
| -- | 06/7/2012 | Nathaniel | 09561 | --- | PMT Gain | I have completed the full error analysis for the correction factor, the attenuation factor of DB1, and the two Gain measurements (one for DB1 and DB2). I have updated the two excel spreadsheets (PMT_Gain_1.xls and att_fac_darkbox1.xls) I have also used PAW to plot each gain vs HV, as well as both on the same plot fitted with the same line to show close correlation. | Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

Just uploading other plots (here is link to group meeting slides for 06/18 PRESENTATION.ppt also, here is the link to the PAW graphing script. NOTE: it requires a txt file of your data.

|
| 4352 (JLab) | 06/22/2012 | Nathaniel | 09561 | 1900 | PMT Gain | In these tests I tested for Gain at JLab to see if it compared with CUA's results. One can notice the "noisy peak" that never moves but always appears after the pedestal. These tests ran from 1900-2300 volts, but could not go lower because this noisy peak swallowed the SEP. Gain plots will come soon too | Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

| 4351 (JLab) | 06/22/2012 | Nathaniel | 09561 | 2000 | PMT Gain | These are still the JLab tests. Different voltage | Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

| 802 | 06/28/2012 | Nathaniel | 60158 (HMS) | PMT Gain | These are Gain tests of the HMS and BLAST PMTs that we brought from JLab. One will notice that HMS PMT has extremely low gain. I fiddled around with LED, HV, Shielding, etc. I even tried 4 different bases. From what I can tell, it just has very low gain. I don't know that there are any JLab measurements to cross check. | Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

| 822 | 06/28/2012 | Nathaniel | 9577 (BLAST) | PMT Gain | Continuation of above. This is now the BLAST PMT. It was described as a "High Gain" PMT and it sure is! It has very high gain. Variations that I did in LED have convinced me that this is the SEP, but it is very high! The Gain results, documented in File:PMT Gain 1.xls , are very close to Kevin's results that are in File:PMTcatalog.xls | Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
