- Evaluate rate dependence and backgrounds for both high and low luminosity
- Complete integration with DAQ under low-intensity beam conditions: (1 week)
Daily Tasks during commissioning
The tasks described here require no beam in the Hall (collimator in blocking position?). These should be completed each day to monitor PMT performance over the course of commissioning and should be done during scheduled beam downtimes if possible:
- Threshold scan (15 minutes): Special DAQ configuration run at pre-start to scan DAC thresholds and record scaler rates to monitor pedestals for all channels
- Dark rate run (15 minutes): Production DAQ configuration including LED trigger at 50 kHz(?) and LED bias = 0 V, collect 25M events.
- LED run (15 minutes): Production DAQ configuration including LED trigger at 50 kHz(?) and LED bias = 12.4 V, collect 25M events.
February 10
- Dark rate runs: 60604-60606
- LED run: 60608-60612
February 11
- Threshold scan: 60632
- Dark rate runs: 60634
- LED run: 60635, 60636
Production datasets
- Expect to collect ~1 billion events for each configuration to reasonably compare photon yield, hit time and Cherenkov angle resolution. We expect these datasets should all be usable the total statistics needed in single photon Cherenkov angle resolution and detector alignment studies.
Low-intensity Set 1
- Data collected after check in DAQ system included which ends the run if SSP slot 4 and 5 timestamps lose synchronization. Also trigger holdoff time increased to 2 us, and readout window reduced to 500 ns, see Sasha's logbook entry
- DAC thresholds set to pedestal + 100, with all HV=1000 V
- Run numbers: 60700-60738, ~1.1 billion triggers
- Logbook entries:
- Studies and results:
Low-intensity Set 2
- DAC thresholds set to pedestal + 200, with all HV=1000 V. Otherwise same conditions as Set 1.
- Run numbers: 60739-60763, ~0.8 billion triggers
- Logbook entries:
- Studies and results:
Low-intensity Set 3 (still running)
- DAC thresholds set to pedestal + 50, with all HV=1000 V. All runs taken after SSP firmware fixed to allow higher occupancies
- Run numbers: 60770-60788, ~0.9 billion triggers (still running)
- Logbook entries:
Medium-intensity Set 1 (Sunday Feb 17)
- DAC thresholds set to pedestal + 100, with all HV=1000 V.
- Run numbers: goal to collect ~1 billion triggers in ~12 hours
Medium-intensity Set 2 (Sunday Feb 17)
- DAC thresholds set to pedestal + 100, with all HV=1000 V. All runs taken after SSP firmware fixed to allow higher occupancies
- Run numbers: goal to collect ~1 billion triggers in ~12 hours
High-intensity tests (Monday-Tuesday Feb 18-19)
- Goal: Increase photon beam as close to high-intensity conditions (5e7 g/s in the coherent peak). This corresponds to ~900 nA on the 17 um diamond and a ~90 kHz trigger rate
- Requirements:
- Lower drift chamber HV (Beni/Lubomir)
- Tune trigger settings (Sasha/Sergey)
- Run numbers: after setup and trigger tuning, goal to collect ~2 billion triggers in ~12 hours
Additional studies
Initial detector checkout
- Run numbers: 60590, 60591, 60593, 60594, 60595, 60596, 60613-60627, 60638-60680
- Note TAGM was not in the readout until Run 60??? as new fibers were being calibrated by Richard
- Concluded this initial checkout with observation that SSP slot 4 and 5 provide different yields, resulting from boards losing syncronization

- Studies and results:
HV and threshold scans (Sunday Feb 17)
- Goal: Smaller datasets with varied HV and gains to compare with data from laser test setup, performed at Medium-intensity settings above. Validation of MAPMT characterization with both LED and beam data.
- Set 1: MAROC gain = 64, HV scan of 1000, 1075, 1100 V, DAC threshold = pedestal+50 and +100 (100M events each) -> 6 configs for a total of ~6 hours
- Set 2: MAROC gain equalized, HV scan of 1000, 1075, 1100 V at Medium-intensity settings above (100M events each) -> 6 configs for a total of ~6 hours
