CRYTUR 01

Date	Experimenter(s)	Description	Comments
xx/xx/2015	Marco	Wrapped	Preparing for light yield measurement. Approximately 5 layers of teflon tape, and 2 layers of black tape.
xx/xx/2015	Marco	LY scan	...
12/14/2015	Marco	unwrapped	Preparing for annealing.
12/14/2015	Marco	Thermal annealing	Starting 11:00AM. Ramp up at 18oC/hour until 200oC, stay at 200oC for 10 hours, ramp down at -18oC/hour.
12/17/2015	Marco	Longitudinal Transmittance	After annealing.
07/15/2016	Summer Students	Longitudinal Transmittance	Wavelength:200-800nm.
08/11/2016	Summer Students	LY scan	RUN:3411. Motor was lowered to approximately 5 cm down crystal. ~18oC. LY: 11.986 phe/MeV-
11/18/2016	Rich	Light Yield Scan	Run 3422: ~100 events; 10 cm crytur crystal wrapped with ~4 layers of teflon tape and 2 layers of black electrical tape. T=18°C. LY = 9.3978 pe/Mev (see pictures below). Not enough runs? Note: the error bars used were not the 0.5 standard used previously, but instead the calculated uncertainty for each run.
11/29/2016	Salina	Light Yield Scan	Run 3432: ~100K events; 10 cm crytur crystal wrapped with ~5 layers of teflon tape and 2 layers of black electrical tape. T=18°C. LY = 8.23 ± 1.08 pe/MeV. Not enough statistics? Need to re-run with more stats (see pictures below)
11/30/2016	Salina	Light Yield Scan	Run 3434: ~1.4M events; Re-run of 10 cm crytur crystal wrapped with ~5 layers of teflon tape and 2 layers of black electrical tape. T=18°C. LY = 9.67 ± 0.53 pe/MeV (see pictures below).
