Attached are plots for Si-pad 2 with hits from ionization of 206Pb81+ at the target.
The plots are representative for all Si-pads, the pattern is always the same!

y-axis: E n-side
x-axis: E p-side strip
condition: E_gate on peak in CsI

While strips 1, 2 and 7 look fine, strips 3 and 6 show already signs of degradation. 
For strips 4 and 5, it is clearly visible that something is wrong.
Those are the central strips, which probably see the most rate.

The same dataset was analyzed here: https://elog.gsi.de/esr/E121/62

This might be a hint to a radiation damage or to the fact that we operate at too low bias voltage (32 Volt).
Maybe it recovers if we increase bias to 60 Volt.

  107   Tue Mar 31 20:32:05 2020 RaganGeneral203Tl80+ 200Hg79+ 205Tl81+
Below in the schottky spectrum, on left is 203Tl80+ contamination, in middel is 200Hg79+ contamination and on right most is 205Tl81+.
These contaminations cannot be seen on CsISiPHOS but can only be seen on schottky.
The goal now is to get rid of these contaminations by putting slits.

Only 220Hg79+ is left now

  109   Tue Mar 31 21:07:05 2020 RaganGeneralSeparation of 203Tl80+ and 200Hg79+ using scrapper in ESR
It can be seen in the video how 203Tl80+ (on extreme left) and then 200Hg79+ (in middle originally) is separted from 205Tl81+ by using scrapper in ESR.
Now, we want 205Pb81+ mixed with 205Tl81+ to be separated as much as possible in FRS.
