FixedTEST Thu Feb 7 09:52:08 2019 Freddy, MarlèneRUNGeneral3-alphaRUN10 : 3 alpha source on MG1-3-4-5-7
Test run with alpha source in front of trapezoid detectors.

First run with new LABELS updated from "MM" to "MG0" in GECO.

name : run_0010.dat.06-02-19_19h08m11s (1.4 GB)

RUN 27 on 14th of feb.
3 alpha source (one in front of trap., one in front of square detectors)

MG10, MG4, MG7 and MG5 are OK.
MG1 shows alpha but at lower energy and with bad resolution (particularly on X). We suspect it is not well depleted. We tried to increase the bias up to 200V but did not see any change.
It is due to a non working SA/SL external cable that produces this error (we tested it with several detectors, we also tried to change the MUVI channel and it still does the same)

Conclusion :
We have tested all trapezoid detectors (MG1, MG3, MG4, MG5, MG7) the annular (MG11) and the thin square (MG10) they are all OK

Run 30

Alpha source run for trapezoid detectors during the night with pedestals aligned and zero suppression. Cooling at 15°C.
Thresholds at 500 keV.
Run size: 1.3 G

On MUVI1:

TRIGGERS are:

Plots are now represented using the correspondance map which means that it correspond to the geometrical ordering on the detector. With this representation groups of strips missing or disfunctionning on a given region of the detector is more obvious.

PROBLEM ACQ , MUVI2 has no validations (DECS). MUVI1 OK!. Looks like a problem on the catchslave actor of Narval as no events seems to pass trough

The problem was caused by the cable used to triger the GMTSlave from the FanIn FanOut.

FixedTEST Fri Mar 1 12:07:44 2019 FreddyGRITGeneral3-alphaEfficiency reconstruction

There is a difference in angle for trapezoids -> to be investigated

Remark: Simulation curve seems wrong (maybe a target in detector file not removed)

FixedTEST Wed Mar 27 11:06:33 2019 Valerian and CyrilGRITHardware3-alphaEvolution of resolution with temperature
For the mugast telescope, changing the temperature from 13deg to minus 4deg doesn't seem to have an impact as strong as for the MUST2 telescopes.
Still, the resolution improve with a lower temperature, but the improvement is of only 0.1 channel... (See joined screenshots)
