  43   Fri Mar 3 02:23:45 2023 GJProblems Softwarebuilder gate, TS offsets
Data from current run - 35, with limited beam current and rates - see a recent post by Güray.
BU level, so what we see in Greware (both online & nearline).
Attached is the fold of Germaniums.
It seems way too large to me.
We are summing up the events and then, not surprisingly, having rubbish gamma-gamma matrices.
The gate is 1500 ns, while Ge are not so far away from each other.

Any fixed time differences should be corrected with LF configuration.
Having all Ge, ACS, and Neda TS-aligned at LF level, BU will do a good job with a reasonable short gate.

We need channel-by-channel TS differences.

The data we took and we are taking now can be recovered in terms of this correction later on.

Marcin can build the events correctly from LF level.
Let's try to do so with as short gates as possible and see again the gamma-gamma matrix and neutron-gated g-g 
matrix.

  175   Thu Mar 9 01:41:50 2023 GJProblem Fixed HardwareTS zeroing - cables to S-IN from VME controller - between runs 49 and 50
Since we were observing jumps of 16 ns in timings of all channels of whole boards, the assumption was that the 
signals from logical FIFO arrive at different times to S-IN inputs to zero the TS counters.
6 originally placed cables of quite the same length were replaced with 6 cables of declared 3-ns length, same 
producer, borrowed from NW's equipment.

41_ge_single_theta 101,117,143 looks ok. No peakdeformation of 511, other gammas FWHM around half of that of511 - ok

ch4 in total rate EAGLE_0 arouns 2.1 kHz - ok

ch4 in total rate EGALE_) reached 2.4 kHz, beam intensity has been reduced to fit the required 2kHz.

 

  230   Sat Mar 11 11:39:55 2023 EGProblems  Buffers clearing

at 11:34:50 sek on 11 march a spike in counting rate of some Ge detectors is observed. Buffers not cleared properly?


 

  231   Sat Mar 11 12:42:42 2023 EGOther  Beam intensity reduction

Again beam intensity gradually increased reaching 2.4 kHz ontotal rate EAGLE_0 ch4.  Beam intensity reduction requested. 1.8 kHz on ch4 after reduction.

  232   Sat Mar 11 14:15:55 2023 EGRuns  Beam intensity rapid increase

14:12 beam intensity instability. Rapid increase of beam intensity - twice the previous value. Returned to normal after 4 minutes.

  233   Sat Mar 11 14:42:28 2023 EGRuns  Beam instabilities

Large beam intensity instabilities from 14:10 till 14:40.  Beam intensity reduction requested. CH4 on Total rate EAGLE_0 returned to 1.9kHz. Intensity became stable.

 

  234   Sat Mar 11 15:16:31 2023 EGOther  Beam intensity reduced again

Again beam intensity to high. Reduced to 2 kHz on ch4 GE

  250   Sun Mar 12 09:15:00 2023 EGOther  Array_monitors mat refresh synchronization

Beam stable, counting rate within limits, plunger distance within the given tollerance, gamma spectra ok, everything looks good but....

(yes there must be some "but"), refreshing of EAGLE_array_monitor.mat and NEDA_array_monitor.mat are out of sync. Mostly pure red colour is dysplayed. Not very usefull and (I suppose) missleading information.


 

  251   Sun Mar 12 13:20:00 2023 EGProblems  No Data

For a split second a red "NO DATA" notification appeared in the top right corner of Counting rates dashboard.

It looks like it did not change anything in data collection.


 

  18   Thu Mar 2 04:17:40 2023 DODRuns General 

Run 27 with single gamma trigger

Plunger feedback system is not conected.

Data

Position = 522.6

Supposed = 520

Plunger run = 32

Micrometer = 525.3

Run Data = /onlineNEDA_00/xData/currentRun/needleRU_i27_0027_0027.caendat

 

RU = 5.10 Mb/s

LF = 3.75 Mb/s

Nothing really to report. The data rates are slowly decreasing from around 3 am. Still observing the frequent sharp minima in the data rates.

  21   Thu Mar 2 09:05:43 2023 DODProblems  Sulphur on aluminium fusion-evaporation reactions

Using  the data which we've sorted to date, I looked into the gamma-gamma coincidences and have identified a number of nuclei e.g. 50Cr, 52Mn, 55Fe which would be consistent with fusion-evaporation reactions involving the sulphur-32 projectiles and aluminium-27. Such reactions would yield a 59Cu comound system and these channels would be populated as a result of the evaporation of a combination of alphas, protons and neutrons.

These lines are intense and the conicdences are very clear and clean. I think this suggests that the beam is hitting some aluminium components within the plunger chamber. This could be the plunger vessel itself or the target frame perhaps.

There is another interesting observation: some of the identified transitions are emitted from levels which have sub-ps lifetimes. At this plunger distance, we might expect these lines to be fully Doppler shifted as they would decay in-flight well in advance of reaching the stopper. Yet, we observe these lines with their non-Doppler shifted energies suggesting that they are not being emitted in-flight but rather at rest. This might suggest that the 32S+27Al reactions are taking place within some thick piece of aluminium. Some of the lines show signs of having been shifted in energy to some extent which might indicate that not all of the ions are completely stopped. The observed lineshapes seem to be consistent with the short-lived states showing evidence of Doppler shift while the decay of the "longer-lived" states (~9 ps) are very sharp.

I haven't slept for about 24 hours so I may be talking absolute sh*te (famous Scottish word).

Before this run TSs were moved on the LF level, so the BU has easier job to do and everything is more stable.

BU gate was changed from 1500 to 500 ns, this stay valid from now on.
