Without scraper, we have very few (p,g) counts, hard to get numbers quickly, maybe ~50.

X-rays look fine!

not Gaussian shaped peaks, after previous investigations with the scope, the scope is disconnected.

Just to mention, in order to improve deadtime the other two Xray dets are disconnected.

Entry  Mon Mar 23 18:15:55 2020, 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
