This is the documentation of the source tests with the 2nd micron DSSSD of 2nd generation (label 3288-17, thickness 529um)

The detector is put into vacuum (~5e-6 mbar) in our test chamber. The source is positioned a few cm above (see fotos).
The Bayard-Alpert Sensor in the chamber has to be deactivated, otherwise the light emission will increase the noise on the DSSSD strongly and reduce its performance.

Additionally the current and voltage from the CAEN HV is monitored with the vulom scalers: ch.13(Icool) = current; ch.14(Ucool) = voltage.
