Find attached Andrey Surzhykov's calculations for the theta angle in respect to the beam direction (in lab. frame) vs. cross section for 124Xe54+ and 118Te52+.
The calculations made for collision with two H atoms with the accuracy of 1%. There are no molecular corrections done, but these corrections are within 1%.

The photon-emission is symmetrical in the azimuthal phi angle, but asymetric in theta. The K-REC cross section is given for each integer theta angle. The problem is that our 90° and 145° xray detectors cover more integer theta-angles --> The disk shaped entrance window of the Xray-detectors is sliced for each covered theta angles, and the CS values are averaged together with the weights of the area of the corresponding slice. The 35° det had a non-disk shaped slit collimator! Was it aligned vertical or horizontal or random? I assumed that it had a vertical position --> only cs at theta=35° needs to taken into account

weighted cs_Te [barn/sr]118,61638,91841,740


For the steradian values I calculated the area of the entrance window of the Xray detectors and I divided it with the area of the sphere with radius = distance between source and det. If r=radius of the entrance window, D=distance between source and det.: covered steradian = r^2*pi/(4*pi*D^2) [%], covered steradian = 4Pi*[r^2*pi/(4*pi*D^2)] [4pi]. This is valid for the 90° and 145° Xray detectors. The area of 35° det. was calculated individually.

I converted barn/sr to barn in the following way: steradian[4pi]*weigthed_cs [barn/sr] = weigthed_cs [barn]. I am not 100% sure if I need here the steradian in [4pi] or in [%].

  278   Wed Apr 29 16:06:28 2020 LaszloCalibrationefficiency fit - 90degree, combined dataset 
For the efficiency vs E fit of the 90degree Xray detector I have used the following phenomenological funciton:

f(x) = a * (1-exp(-(x-c)/b)) * exp(-x/d)

Here the first exponent member is a saturation curve. This part describes the passing through of the two Be windows (chamber + before detector) and through the dead layer of Ge crystal. One needs a minimum energy to enter to the detecting Ge crystal = C parameter. b parameter = characteristic absorbtion E of these nondetecting layers.
The second exponent is an exponential decrease of the detector efficiency. Photons with higher energy are less detectable by the germaniums. The d parameter is the characteristic E for hard Xray and gamma (>40keV) detectability.

//Jan's comment: the tail of this function should more or less follow a linear trend a bit above than 40 keV.


In the attachment there is an example fit for 90 degree with combined 1. and 2. (before and after beamtime) calibration datasets. 
I made the fit with gnuplot:

rms of residuals      (FIT_STDFIT) = sqrt(WSSR/ndf)    : 0.419915

For all 3 detector the calibration data sets were combined to include the systematics in the fit results directly. Combining means not a weighted average, just simple all data points were included into the fit --> doubled efficiency value for most of the energies.
The g(x) = a * (1-exp(-(x-c)/b)) * exp(-x/d) function was used to describe the behavior of the Germanium detectors for the whole range of energies (global behavior). From these fits the 80keV outlier point was excluded. This is very strange that it doesn't follow the trend, it would be nice to find out why not.
Between 40-75keV a linear fit was carried out as well. This can also approximate quite well this local energy range, what we need for the K-REC peaks.
l(x) = m*x+e

All the fits were done by gnuplot, but it was also confirmed that ROOT gives us the same parameters + errors + chisquare. One just need to choose well the starting values :)

  280   Thu Apr 30 22:55:45 2020 LaszloCalibrationinverse square law test 
I have made also the inverse square law fits. We have data only for 90degre with the 241Am source, but both for the 1. and 2. calibrations. The 1. and 2. calibration data sets treated separate.
2 peaks were investigated, 59.5keV and 26.3keV, at two distances 184.8mm and 217.3mm. These distances are the sum of 4 distances:
a = width of plastic head. uncert.: +/- 0.05mm, measured with caliper.
b = width of the brass collimator. uncert.: +/- 0.05mm, measured with caliper.
c = width of protector plastic ring. uncert.: +/- 0.05mm, measured with caliper.
d= distance of the paper head. uncert: +/- 0.5mm, judged by the eye :)

The Be window and the dead layer of the Ge detector is not taken into account.

The distances calculated as D=a+b+c+d.

The conclusion is that the uncertainty coming from the distance measurements are negligible compared to the other uncertainties. The data obey the inverse square law.

  281   Wed May 6 23:02:42 2020 LaszloCalibrationefficiency values 
I have calculated the efficiency values by putting the energies of the K-REC peaks into the phenomenological (empirical) function and into the linear function (see below). The K-REC peak's position I got from a Gaussian-fit on the peak. There are 5 data sets in total:
With 1. E-calibration parameters:
-124Xe low rate measurement
-118Te 1. data set (before cable-swap)
With 2. E-calibration parameters:
-118Te 2. data set (after cable-swap)
-124Xe with scraper
-124Xe without scraper

When using the 1. E-calibration parameters, the obtained K-REC energies were much offset (124Xe_lowRate E_KREC=4.00577e+01keV, 118Te_1dataset: E_KREC=3.70922e+01keV), even though I tried all possible linear combinations of the parameters for 90° and 145°. Therefore, at the end I used the theoretical energies of the K-REC peaks from Thomas's website: http://www-ap.gsi.de/Thomas/ap_html_research/energy/index.php
Most probably, the problem is not with the 1. E-calibration itself (the source measurement looks consistent), but with the changing gate width during these measurements. These problematic data sets I marked with a " * " in the tables.

> I have made also the inverse square law fits. We have data only for 90degre with the 241Am source, but both for the 1. and 2. calibrations. The 1. and 2. calibration data sets treated separate.
> 2 peaks were investigated, 59.5keV and 26.3keV, at two distances 184.8mm and 217.3mm. These distances are the sum of 4 distances:
> a = width of plastic head. uncert.: +/- 0.05mm, measured with caliper.
> b = width of the brass collimator. uncert.: +/- 0.05mm, measured with caliper.
> c = width of protector plastic ring. uncert.: +/- 0.05mm, measured with caliper.
> d= distance of the paper head. uncert: +/- 0.5mm, judged by the eye Smile
>
> The Be window and the dead layer of the Ge detector is not taken into account.

>
> The conclusion is that the uncertainty coming from the distance measurements are negligible compared to the other uncertainties. The data obey the inverse square law.

> > For all 3 detector the calibration data sets were combined to include the systematics in the fit results directly. Combining means not a weighted average, just simple all data points were included into the fit --> doubled efficiency value for most of the energies.
> > The g(x) = a * (1-exp(-(x-c)/b)) * exp(-x/d) function was used to describe the behavior of the Germanium detectors for the whole range of energies (global behavior). From these fits the 80keV outlier point was excluded. This is very strange that it doesn't follow the trend, it would be nice to find out why not.

  282   Tue May 19 16:48:15 2020 LaszloGeneralE127 beamtime overview 
Here is a representation how was the time management during E127. The time, what we could spend with measuring the 118Te(pg), was ~20% comparing to the given 6days.
  283   Fri Jun 5 14:06:15 2020 LaszloDetectorsDSSSD and SCRAPER position estimate for Xe and Te experiments2020
We don't know the exact absolute positions of the detector (+scraper) and the beam. However, what we have to know is only these two relative positions respect to each other. To get this distance I use two methods:
1, combining the infos from the set position during the beamtime + the measured pg peak position on the detector. The pg peak position is defined only by the eye (because of the low number of counts in every case, it doesnt make much sense to make fits). Since we rely on the detector resolution, we would be never more accurate than ~ +/-1.5mm anyhow. The active area of the detector is 49.5x49.5mm2 with a 45° tilt in y.
2, MOCADI simulation of the beam and the pg peak. This is used only as a crosscheck.
3, The scraper had a small angle in y direction causing ~0.5cm shift to the upper direction. the length of the scraping edge is 7cm


-124Xe with scraper measurement:
  • measurement
    d1 = moved back from beam = 15 +/-.5 mm
    d2 = DSSSD frame width = 8.85 mm
    d3 = pg center on DSSSD = 7-7.5 bin = 21.7-23.2 mm = avg = 22.5 mm

    --> pg from beam in x = -46.4mm +/- 1.5mm
    --> pg on DSSSD from center ~ -3.28mm +/- 1.5mm

  • simulation
    x = -46.5 mm
    y = 0 mm

  • detector active area position
    x = (-73.35mm) - (-23.85mm)
    y = (-14.2195mm) - 23.5125mm


  • SCRAPING: x=-35mm +/-0.5mm away from beam
    y=(-20mm) - (40mm)


-118Te:
  • measurement
    d1 = moved back from beam = 16 +/-.5 mm
    d2 = DSSSD frame width = 8.85 mm
    d3 = pg center on DSSSD = 7.5 bin = 23.2 mm

    --> pg from beam in x = -48.05mm +/- 1.5mm
    --> pg on DSSSD from center ~ -3.28mm +/- 1.5mm

  • simulation
    x = -48 mm
    y = 0 mm

  • detector active area position
    x = (-74.35mm) - (-24.85mm)
    y = (-14.2195mm) - 23.5125mm


  • SCRAPING:
    x=-35mm +/-0.5mm away from beam
    y=(-20mm) - (40mm)

  368   Fri May 21 19:20:54 2021 LaszloGeneralmisalignment in the pattern2021
for some reason the event number of the target ON and OFF was misaligned with the pattern.
This means that the last few runs (run53, run52...) measured not in the target on phase but one before (at 10 instead of 11). Therefore, with these 
runs we measured the TargetOFF phase instead TargetON (that is why the pg peak seem to disappear...)
