Revision as of 17:17, 7 May 2012

  1. Preliminary look at pulse heights and times (Elton)
  2. What gains do we want to run at?
    • Gain Ratio (from Andrei's plot): Vbr=0.9/Vbr=1.2 = 1800/2500 = 0.72
    • Maximum ADC from downstream ch2 R491/R498 = 3300/4000 = 0.83
  3. FADC range from Run 484: Vbr=1.2V (Andrei)
  4. Bcal data to be taken
    • TDC threshold scan
    • Vover=1.2 V, 4 files 80k each, nominal TDC threshold
    • Vover=0.9 V, 4 files 80k each, nominal TDC threshold
    • Vover=1.2 V, 4 files 80k each, 1/2 TDC threshold
    • Vover=0.9 V, 4 files 80k each, 1/2 TDC threshold
    • Vover=1.2 V, 4 files 80k each, 1/4 TDC threshold
    • Vover=0.9 V, 4 files 80k each, 1/4 TDC threshold
  5. Considerations in choosing the SiPM operating voltage (Notes by Elton)
    • PDE increases with overbias (favors 1.2 V)
    • Noise increases with overbias (favors 0.9 V)
    • Higher voltage decreases sensitivity to absolute bias voltage setting (favors 1.2 V)
    • Gain increases with overbias, relaxing the electronic gain requirements (favors 1.2 V)
