Laszlo | General | noisy 90degree Xray det | |
Uwe found out, that there was some common ground effect between 90 and 145 degree detectors. after moving the grounds, we could record much more nicer (Gaus
shaped) peaks in the spectra. Now we continue with this settings |

Laszlo | Calibration | Xray energies - 1. calibration | |
30angle: E[keV] = 0.0158507 *ch-2.07456
90angle: E[keV] = 0.01950*ch-2.76
145angle: E[keV] = 0.017988 *ch-1.809
I could identify 2 peaks in the 241Am spectra and 4 peaks in the 133Ba. These peaks are fitted with a gaussian to get their position --> linear energy calibration for the combined (Am+Ba) data sets for each detector. The function I used: E(ch) [keV] = m*ch+b |

Laszlo | Calibration | Counts in the K-REC peaks | |
3 datasets were investigated:
-124Xe with Scraper (2. Xray calibration parameters needed)
-124Xe without Scraper (2. Xray calibration parameters needed)
-118Te with Scraper (1. Xray calibration parameters needed)
I looked all the 35°, 90° and 145° detector spectra:
-For both Xe measurements all 3 detector signal can be evaluated
-For Te beam one can see only in the 145° detector spectra the Kalpha and K-REC peaks (with high uncertainty). For the 35° probably the detector was simply not sensitive enough for such low beam intensities. For the 90° case, I am much surprised, the peaks supposed to be there the most prominent of all. In the spectra, I maybe can recognize a peak at ~27,8keV, but this is even in best case only the Kalpha peak. At the range of the expected K-REC (~40keV), there is a bit of increase in the background overlying the peak. This background increase is also in the background spectra. Also probably this twisted cables issue between 90° and 145° didn't help much. I think anyhow, that maybe this must have some noise related origin. I can remember that the cables (despite all of our and Uwe's tries) were not well grounded, the noise level was kind of floating.
In general, I would also remark that we can see some peaks >60keV in the background, but these luckily don't disturb us.
To evaluate the Xray spectra I used the following algorithm:
1, for each type of beams I used the list of event numbers in the next entry (to exclude "bad" events)
To get the Kalpha and K-REC and other peaks I used the condition trigger==1 (jet ON)
To get the background spectra, I used trigger==2 (Jet OFF). The background spectra is only used to see that there is no underlying peak structure below K-REC. To subtract count, the background histo was NOT in use.
2, While using a well-suiting number of bins, I plot the JetON and JetOFF histos.
By eye I choose the range of the K-REC peak and the range for the background fit on the JetON histo. Ofc range_bckgnd > range_peak.
Simultaneously, I check on the JetOFF histo that both, in the fit-range and in the peak-range, there should not be any peak structure visible.
3, For the fit-range in JetON histo, excluding the peak-range, I fit a linear function, m*x+b. For each bin in the fit-range I subtract m*bin_center+b value from the bin content. After the subtraction I check if I got spectra looking like a single peak sitting on a zero
line.
4, To get the K-REC counts, I sum together all the bin values for each bin of the subtracted histo within the peak-range. For the error calculation, I use Gaussian error prop. The uncertainty of the JetON histo counts = sqrt(counts). Also for the subtraction I make the
error like delta(m*bin_center+b)= sqrt(m*bin_center+b) instead using the uncertainty of the fit parameters. This second one wont make much sense, since the slope of the linear fit is usually close to 0 --> the errors grow unrealistically big.
Based on the algorithm above I got the following counts:
-124Xe with Scraper:
35°: 174 +/- 15
90°: 21299 +/- 150
145°: 2104 +/- 52
-124Xe without Scraper:
35°: 65 +/- 9
90°: 7792 +/- 91
145°: 728 +/- 31
-118Te_part1 with Scraper:
35°: -
90°: 427 +/- 40
145°: -
-118Te_part2 with Scraper:
35°: -
90°: 741 +/- 48
145°: -
-124Xe_lowRate with Scraper:
35°: -
90°: 2121 +/- 52
145°: - |

Laszlo | General | lmd to measurement pairing list | |
I use the following list of lmd files combined to a single root file for each measurement.
It is very important to highlight that sometimes the trigger==1 data got corrupted,massive number of trigger==2 like events appear on the detector as trigger==1 signal, because the gas jet target didn't switch off after its normal phase (gas jet remains ON during injection. Maybe some gas jet issue, maybe some bug in the pattern :/ ). To correct for this, one has to cut out these parts from the data. I did these cut outs by hand while looking at the event number vs I_ESR & density gas jet plot (see below). Probably this can be done also in a more automatized way, but I think this is not necessary. In the "124Xe with Scraper" data set it is only 1 time like this, in the 118Te data set 3 times. The other data sets seem fine to me.

Regarding the gain matching, I assumed that the same 2*16 factors can be used for all data sets, since we didn't change bias voltage (the current remained roughly also the same) and also the detector didn't get any serious radiation damage (this needs to be confirmed!).
A more detailed anaylsis will come on the gain matching after the Easter holiday.
