Subject: BaF Na22 Testing 
Year: 2021 
On 30. and 31.03.2021 we did some testing with the 6 BaF detectors.

Trigger & threshold:
With a threshold at ~250 keV, each detector has an trigger rate of about 0.5kHz due to internal activity.

Energy spectra
All detectors showed the Na22 lines (511 + 1275 keV) and also the lines from internal activity.
The energy resolution was on the order of 8.5 - 11 keV, depending on the detector.

Time spectra
Raw TDC spectra showed self-stop peak.
TDC diff spectra (between detectors) show one main (sharp) correlation peak about 8ns = 30ch*0.293ns/ch off the zero. 
At very low intensity a time structure around this peak is visible in a region of 120ns around the main peak. This is not understood, the energy spectra look similar for all these time regions (above/on/below the main peak).
Additionally, the coincidence E-specta between detector 1 and 2 (gating on the main time peak), nicely showed only the 511 keV line from Na22 and some gras.

Overnight test run:
Det. 1, 2, 3, 4 with the Na22 source

Issues to solve:
- 2 missing HV channels
- Go4 Analysis not stable
- trigger not on Baf but on Si
