# Module 2 ############ =>30/01/2008 New reference frame ------------------- sc x h 0 -14 13.5 1 -6 4 2 5 1 3 16 4 4 24. 13.5 Connectivity ------------ sc adc 0 0 1 5 2 2 3 4 4 3 Start the HV scan ================== E=471 MeV Run 876 -------- -sector 2 -HV=1300 V => crap.... We expect to find a peak at least at ~1500 in adc5, and instead we find only ~300.... Try next run with higher voltage... Run 877 -------- -sector 2 -HV = 1350 V => same pb... further rise the HV Run 878 -------- - sector 2 - HV = 1500 V => same try sector 3 Run 879 -------- -sector 3 - HV = 1500 V => Still strange... Run 880 -------- -sector 1 -HV = 1500 V => same... Run 881 ------- -sector 0 -HV = 1550 V looks better, but still low : sgl electron peak ~ 1200.... Run 882 ------- -sector 4 -HV = 1550 Same as just above. The global shape looks correct, but the numbers are lower... Try higher voltage Run 883 ------- -sector 4 -HV = 1600 V Single Electron peak higher, as expected. Come back to sector 2 Run 884 -------- -sector 2 -HV = 1550 V => sgl electron peak still low (~750) Run 885 -------- -sector 2 -HV = 1600 V => No increment of the electron peak.... Run 886 -------- -sector 2 -HV = 1700 V => better (~1000) Run 888 -------- -sector 1 -HV = 1600 V Run 889 ------- -sector 1 -HV = 1700 V => 31/01/2008 About the problems last evening: might just be normal and mean that the PM needs higher HV.... Let's scan again... Run 890 ------- -sector 2 -HV = 1700 V Sgl electron peak is around 1135. Seems a little weak (and weaker than other sectors) for such a voltage. Try higher voltage. Run 891 ------- -sector 2 -HV = 1800 V => killed since we lost the beam Run 892 ------- -sector 2 -HV = 1800 V => killed since we are not in sgle ele Run 893 ------- -sector 2 -HV = 1800 V => same Run 894 ------- -sector 2 -HV = 1700 V => Still in saturation (was a Xcheck that the beam is indeed too intense to give sgle electron, and that the pb does not come from the PM). Run 895 ------- -sector 2 -HV = 1800 V => peak at ~1800. => So it is OK. This PM is just different from the ones in m1 and m0, but works fine. Same conclu for the other sectors, except sector 3, that still has to be checked. Run 896 ------- -sector 3 -HV = 1550 V => peak at 750. Differs a bit from yesterday. Might be varying beam conditions... Try with a higher voltage... Run 897 ------- -sector 3 -HV = 1700 V => peak at 1500. Thus, this sector is OK as well... NOW WE CAN START AGAIN THE HV SCAN !!!!! Run 898 ------- -sector 3 -HV = 1500 V - 5 min sgl e peak ~750 Run 899 ------- -sector 3 -HV = 1600 V - 5 min sgl e peak ~950 Run 900 ------- -sector 3 -HV = 1700 V - 5 min sgl e peak ~1500 Run 901 ------- -sector 3 -HV = 1800 V - 5 min sgl e peak ~2000 Run 902 ------- -sector 3 -HV = 1900 V - 5 min sgl e peak ~3500 Begin to saturate. => Switch to sector 1 Run 903 ------- -sector 1 -HV = 1500 V - 5 min sgl e peak ~800 Run 904 ------- -sector 1 -HV = 1600 V - 5 min sgl e peak ~1100 Run 905 ------- -sector 1 -HV = 1700 V - 5 min sgl e peak ~1600 Run 905 ------- -sector 1 -HV = 1800 V - 5 min sgl e peak ~2600 run 906 killed (beam loss) Run 907 ------- -sector 1 -HV = 1900 V - 5 min Saturation, as expected. However, lower the HV to check we indeed have 1 sgle electron (saturation make the peak difficult to see ) ! Run 908 ------- -sector 1 -HV = 1600 V - 5 min => Confirms saturation is due only to HV. Now switch to s2 Run 909 ------- -sector 2 -HV = 1500 V - 5 min sgle e peak at~650 Run 910 ------- -sector 2 -HV = 1600 V - 5 min sgle e peak at~750 Not a big increment... Run 911 ------- -sector 2 -HV = 1700 V - lunch time Beam conditions changed inbetween, thus we take a new measurement at this HV. Run 912 ------- -sector 2 -HV = 1700 V - 5 min sgle e peak at ~1100 Big pedestal... Run 913 ------- -sector 2 -HV = 1800 V - 5 min sgle e peak at~ => Probably bad. Linac is presently running with positrons... Then we guess there are some settings to change somewhere, but do not know which... -> Set the slits to the correct settings... Run 914 ------- -sector 2 -HV = 1800 V - 5 min sgle e peak at~1800 Run 915 ------- -sector 2 -HV = 1900 V - 5 min sgle e peak at~2500+saturation Run 916 ------- -sector 4 -HV = 1500 V - 5 min sgle e peak at~800 Run 917 ------- -sector 4 -HV = 1600 V - 5 min sgle e peak at~1200 Run 918 ------- -sector 4 -HV = 1700 V - 5 min sgle e peak at~2000 Run 919 ------- -sector 4 -HV = 1800 V - 5 min sgle e peak at~3400. Saturation begins... Run 920 ------- -sector 4 -HV = 1900 V - 5 min Stopped after 7000 evts. The saturation is such that it is probably useless to accumulate more. Switch to sector 0 Run 921 ------- -sector 0 -HV=1500 V electron peak at ~900 Run 922 ------- -sector 0 -HV=1600 V electron peak at ~1250 Run 923 ------- -sector 0 -HV=1700 V electron peak at ~2200 Run 924 ------- -sector 0 -HV=1800 V electron peak at ~3300 saturation starts. Run 925 ------- -sector 0 -HV=1900 V Saturation. START A VERTICAL SCAN IN SECTOR 2 We do not have yet the equalization HV, but we'll extrapolate the results to these voltages later, based on Paolo's fits. For the moment, all sectors are at HV=1600 V. Run 927 -------- -sector 2 -HV = 1600 -(x,h)= 5 , 8.5 EQUALIZATION IS DONE !! HV are the following ones (working point at 2300 adc) s0=1738 V s1=1792 V s2=1885 V s3=1817 V s4=1740 V RESUME VERTICAL SCAN !! Run 928 -------- -sector 2 -(x,h)= 5 , 8.5 => PB with DAQ, discard. Run 929 -------- -sector 2 -(x,h)= 5 , 8.5 Run 930 -------- -sector 2 -(x,h)= 5 , 6 Run 931 -------- -sector 2 -(x,h)= 5 , 4.5 Run 932 -------- -sector 2 -(x,h)= 5 , 3.5 Run 933 -------- -sector 2 -(x,h)= 5 , 1 Run 934 -------- -sector 2 -(x,h)= 5 , -0.5 ---VERTI SCAN OVER ---- -- START THE HORI SCAN --- Run 935 -------- - night long scan !!! - setting done by Giovanni to resist to linac swithing from e- to e+ and vice versa... - Try a point close to the lower edge of the calo (imp to understand what happens if a part of the shower in missed)... -sector s0 -(x,h)= -5 , 15.75 Friday morning. *Run 936 -------- - sector 1 - x, h = -2.25, 10.44 *Run 937 -------- - sector 1 - x, h = -4.75, 10.44 *Run 938 -------- - sector 1 - x, h = 0.25, 10.44 *Run 939 -------- - sector 0 - x, h = -10.25, 10.44 *Run 940 -------- - sector 0 - x, h = -16.55, 10.44 *Run 941 -------- - sector 0 - x, h = -21.75, 10.44 *Run 942 -------- - sector 3 - x, h = 12.25, 10.44 *Run 943 -------- - sector 3 - x, h = 14.75, 10.44 Killed: problem with one dafne magnet… No beam. *Run 944 -------- - sector 3 - x, h = 9.75, 10.44 *Run 945 -------- - sector 3 - x, h = 14.75, 10.44 LINAC problem, no beam *Run 946 -------- - sector 4 - x, h = 21.25, 10.44 *Run 947 ---------- - sector 4 - x, h = 26.75, 10.44 *Run 948 -------- - sector 4 - x, h = 31.75, 10.44 *Run 949 -------- - sector 2 - x, h =5. , 5.6 *Run 950 -------- - sector 2 - x, h = 2.5, 5.6 *Run 951 -------- - sector 2 - x, h = 7.5, 5.6
