Jan | Calibration | DSSD X/Y channel mapping | 2021 | 
During the detector test test measurements with alpha source the allocation of the 16 X- and 16 Y-channels has been checked. 
 
For the following final allocation, it is always assumed that the (horizontal) y-strips are placed to face the beam directly, while the (vertical) x-strips are on the backside. 
 
Now, all cables from the preamp to the ADC/TDCs are either labeled BLACK (= X-strips, pos. signals) or labeled RED (= Y-strips, neg. signals). These red or black connections should be kept consistently in order to ensure a well known orientation of the DSSD during the experiment. The test run Si2_run006.lmd was taken with this final assignment and serves as reference. 
 
BLACK LABEL > X1 to X16 > pos. MSCF > ADC/TDC ch  0-15 >   50 Ohm resistor at preamps HV-input 
RED LABEL   > Y1 to Y16 > neg. MSCF > ADC/TDC ch 16-31 > neg. bias voltage at preamps HV-input 
 
Additionally, the RED label indicates the section on the preamp to which negative bias voltage should be applied. |

Jan | Detectors | DSSD installation and alignment | 2021 | 
The DSSD has been exchanged and aligned in 
November 2020. After bakeout at 140°C 
(externally, 120°C at internal temp. Sensor) 
for more than a week, the vacuum in the setup 
is roughly 4.5e-10 mbar.
After the bakeout the detector had to be 
realigned, it was lower by 1-2 mm. Using the 
line laser the realignment was done by 
touching only the screws on the far part of 
the base of the flange. These screws have been 
thightend by about a 1/4 turn after releasing 
the headless positioning screw accordingly.  |

Jan | Detectors | BaF Na22 Testing | 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:

Jan | Detectors | target-chamber det. distances | 2021 | 
This is the lookup table for the distance of each x-ray detector to the target. 
See attached foto for explanation. 
 
It is the same values as in 2020: https://elog.gsi.de/esr/E127/36  
 
| 
Detector  |  A (dA) [mm]  |  B (dB) [mm]  |  C (dC) [mm]  |  calculate  |  result [mm]
 |  | 
35°  |  136.0 (1.0)  |  20.0 (0.2)  |  450.0 (0.5)  |  C + B - A  |  334.0 (?)
 |  | 
90°  |  76.0 (0.5)  |  20.0 (0.2)  |  447.0/2 = 223.5 (1.0)  |  C + B - A  |  167.5 (?)
 |  | 
145°  |  165.0 (1.0)  |  20.0 (0.2)  |  450.0 (0.5)  |  C + B - A  |  305.0 (?)
 |  
  
Errors are estimated after measurement, final errorbars have to be double checked! |

Jan | Accelerator | ESR stacking cycle length | 2021 | 
The full cycle length of ESR with 30 stacks is about 7:45 minutes, out of which 15.5 sec are with target switched ON.
This is without CMB/HTD in parallel.  |

Jan | General | lessons learned | 2021 | 
1. before using stoch. cooling in ESR, boot and update the windows PC
2. better diagnostics for low energy/intensity beam-target overlapp in ESR is needed (either a clever analysis or a new detector)
more to come  |

Jan | Analysis | 118(p,g) counts until run0115 | 2021 | 
The two attached plots show the collected Si data up to run0115.
Within this ~15h we have about ~70 counts in the peak region.
This translates to ~4.5 counts per hour.
And shall be compared to the 1 count/hour we had last year.  |

Jan | Analysis | Xrays from 118Te & 124Xe | 2021 | 
Attached is a plot of the uncalibrated energy spectra taken with the 90 degree xray detector for 118Te (red) and 124Xe (blue).
Shown is the region covering the K-alpha and K-REC peaks.
Calculating the ratios (Te/Xe) for K_alpha and K-REC energies from theory one gets:
K_alpha (theory): 0.9236  
K-REC   (theory): 0.9308
Without energy calibration we get the following ratio (using channel numbers):
K_alpha (exp): 0.9293  
K-REC   (exp): 0.9344
Taking into account that the channel numbers are not calibrated, the agreement is still very good.
In summary we can be sure that we have 118Te stored at 7AMeV.  |

Jan | Accelerator | FRS degrader failure | 2021 | 
Maybe, our degrader in FRS was removed by hand at (~13:40 26/05/21)
It is put back now (~13:10 27/05/21)
All runs taken in this period have to be double checked!
However, the xray lines from this night show Te for k_alpha and K-KREC
It is also possible that the readout of this degrader motor was just wrong due to its state as hand-controlled.  |
