  28   Wed Nov 6 14:13:53 2019 Jan, LaszloDetectorsDSSSD - 1st movement - realignment 
We moved the new detector installation for the first time slowly into the dipole chamber.
The alignement seems to be pefect, no distortion or vertical movement of the detector-arm was observed from the window flange.

The vacuum on the detector side went up from 2e-10 mbar to about 5e-9 mbar.
On the ring side it was 3e-11 mbar befor and 1e-10 mbar after movement.

The extreme positions possible (Endlage) are:

max out: -10613 
max in: -7

These are the absolute positions in units of 0.1 mm

It has to be noted that after bakeout a realignment of the detector was needed in order to have it centered in vertical dimension. However, this realignment has been only slight turns of the base flange alignment screws. In detail, the two inner "Sechskantschrauben" below the bellow have been loosed slightly, while the outer two have been tightend. Additionally, the small "Madenschraube" on the outside has been loosend by 1/4 turn.
In result the detector could be raised in vertical position by about ~5mm (jugded by eye).

The effect of small turning on the screws is extreme on the detector position! Be careful when re-adjusting.
  30   Thu Dec 5 10:57:57 2019 Jan, LaszloDetectorssetting up the DSSD with beam 
This is a brief how-to about getting the DSSSD set up with stored beam and target in the ESR.

The main goals
1. adjust timing signals to TDC-range
2. adjust energy signals to ADC-range
3. optimize energy resolution

The signal chain is the following:

det [32ch.] > preamp [2x16ch] > 2x MSCF shapers [16ch]
  83   Fri Mar 20 13:21:33 2020 Jan, LaszloAnalysis124Xe data of first night 
The unpacked data of all runs from the first night (46-50) is located at
litv-exp@lxg0188:/data.local2/E127_lmd/124Xe_1st_night.root

By taking a very quick look at the Silicon xy position histo, one can identify (please not the number of counts) clusters of hits. The x=0 and x=1 strips sees the forward scattering Rutherford particles, which remained even after scraping at 3.5cm away from the beam. This idea is supported by the simulations. Backscattered Rutherford components cannot be identified simply because of their low count rate (the exact rate should be double check). The second cluster in the middle of the detector must be our pg peak. For x>=7 strip we see the pn channel. It overlaps with the pg peak both in the position and in the energy. The energy vs Xstrip histo is NOT gainmatched, yet. Hard to make statements, but so far it seem to support the conclusions based on the position histo. The energies seem to corrsepond to the simulation: forward Rutherford, pg at same level; pn is a bit below ( ~.8% energy separation of the centers). The separation in the enregy for the backscattered Rutherford should be in the range of 2%.

Source: 210Pb

Start time: 9:58:00 - 30.04.2021

Still rate peaks, probably the ESR kicker or some other external influence. 
So we have double triggers occasionally. This might slightly affect deadtime determination.
  297   Fri Apr 30 10:55:34 2021 Jan GloriusDAQXray multi-triggers - blocking gate2021
From the CFD of Xray1 (90deg) we get multiple trigger signals every ~5sec for unknown reasons. 
No hint from the preamp signals.

The solution now is to have an extended blocking gate active in the trlo-config of node 2.
There is now a trigger_stretch of 2500ns for all Xray triggers:

trig_stretch(1)  = 2500ns;
trig_stretch(2)  = 2500ns;
trig_stretch(3)  = 2500ns;

This prevents the multiple triggers to reach the lmu (before_dt scalers)
However, this will also lead to a very small loss of good signal triggers that overlay within 2.5 us.

This has to be taken into account for deadtime determination.
