update at 05.04.2020: the cables were probably twisted between the 90 and the 145 angle detectors. However, the id of the detector doesnt change, since there were no simultanious measurements (one source used with one detector a detector at a time)

-- E calibration seems to have changed! ---

This calibration is based on the source data taken before the experiment:

Xray1: E [keV] = ch*0.01582-1.963
Xray2: E [keV] = ch*0.01799-1.803
Xray3: E [keV] = ch*0.01941-2.618

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