- Announcements
- CEBAF delivered 10.5 GeV beam to the tagger dump last night!
- Collaboration Meeting May 12-14
- Action Items
- FCAL
- HDFCAL log book (John)
- Fcal detector continues to work with no known problems
- New firmware installed on Fadcs seems to have addressed all known problems with the Fadcs
- Log book entry shows timing of LED pulser run, with the timing determined by the IU "linear interpolation" method
- David: Note that the hardware this algorithm is not currently implemented in the hardware and plans for implementation are not clear
- Timing of single events shows regions of similar timing and the pattern of timing is correlated with crates.
- Problem is likely due to timing distribution to the crates
- Pedestals: First look at overnight pedestal run shows some 3 hour structure (as for the BCAL) , but with much reduced amplitude (~0.6 channels)
- BCAL
- HDBCAL log book (Mark)
- First look at pedestal stability in BCAL
- ~3 hour period for baseline oscillations with detector powered on
- Same structure seen in data (not yet entered into the log) for pedestals with the power off, but at a reduced amplitude
- Oscillations seem to correlate with the temperatures in the crates, which vary by about 2 degF. [Note: temperature variations of the MPPC chillers has a period of about 20 min and voltages are very stable.]
- Matt: Each Fcal base has a temperature sensor that could be used as a reference for temperature variations in the hall. They accessible through the CAN controller that has a network address to access data.
- Changes in the pedestal when power is shut off to the MPPCs are about 20 counts. However, in one slot of one crate, they show variations of order 70-80 counts, which is likely not physical.
