Subject: Particle detectors - Recap of yesterdays work 
South (behind cooler) - "SA_SZ" - DD2...
We have put the particle detecotr North to the poistion behind the cooler (north) to replace the defective particle detector.
This detector is an old "Kozhuharov" style plastic szintillator that runs with a voltage of 1400-1500 V.
The signal line in the Messhütte / ESR is the #5 (normally we have #6).

North (behind target) - "NA_SZ" - ....
In the north we put one of my "spare" detectors that I assembled from "old" parts of not well known provenience (old plastic, old small 1 inch PMT). While machining the plastic szintillation material it seems that the mateerial got slightly to warm and shows micro cracks. Still the detecotr works without any issues and with good timing.
Please note that typical voltages here are ~600-700V.
The signal line in the Messhütte is the #5 (north outside)
