Newest preamp
- 50/50 mixed Ar, CO2
- Recalibrated MFCs
- Outer plenum added to CDC prototype to prevent leaks
- New modified HVB
- 2050V
- Comparison of modified preamp (preamp4 with terminating resistors removed) and its predecessor (preamp4)
Below: cosmics with new fADC, preamp4 (top) and newest modified preamp (below). Blue histograms are tracked hits, runtimes were not equal.
The fADC range is 0-4096. These are histograms of the first maximum in ADC value for each event, pedestal has been subtracted, maximum must be above threshold. Threshold is pedestal mean + 5sigma.
Pedestal mean was approx 100, sigma is 9-12.
Below: threshold pedestal mean + 4sigma
Below: 2100V (threshold pedestal mean + 5sigma)

Below: 55Fe spectra with preamp 4 and Struck ADCs set to half-range, 550mV
Below: 55Fe spectra with newest preamp (preamp4 minus terminating resistors) and Struck ADCs set to full-range, 1.1V
