In the CATS position spectra the central part is missing (maybe for the high intensity of the beam?).
We can anyway recover the time information.
After the decrease of the high voltage of VAMOS drift chamber to avoid saturation of the signals
the BRho resolution has worsened of about 25% (see attachment). We will now increase it again (h. 22.30). |

Franco | GRIT | Hardware | 3-alpha | Trip in the cooling system after e775s experiment |
In the weekend after the experiment e775s (7-8 March 2020) a problem with the cooling system of Mugast occurred. In particular, in the morning of Saturday 7th around 12h the cooling system tripped and some detectors remained switched on until Monday 9th in the morning. After a check, it looks like all Mugast detectors are ok except MG6, which cannot be biased anymore.
The alpha calibration run of the weekend (run_0193) is divided into 55 runs. Runs from .0 to .11 can be safely used for the post-experiment alpha calibration, those from .12 to .54 are probably useless to this aim.
In the first attachment is the evolution of the DSSD energy (of all telescopes together because it's the calibrated energy) for run .12, that started on Saturday 7th at 11.43 and ended at 12.55. At the end of the run it is evident that something wrong is going on with the detectors. In the following runs this behaviour is confirmed and going even worse.
In the second attachment is the evolution of the DSSD energy for MG6 and for MG1 in run .13, so right after the cooling system tripped, showing that MG6 immediately "suffered" much more the heating-up.
In the last 2 attachments are the raw energies for X and Y of MG11 in run 0524 done on Monday 9th afternoon after we re-biased the detectors compared with run 0193 (from .9 to .11) before the cooling system tripped. It looks like the part of MG11 X from strip 35 to 50, that before the heating was having the 4-peaks behaviour, now behaves normally, while the Y is still the same, with 3 missing strips. |

Franco | VACUUM | Hardware | N/A | MUGAST undervacuum and powered up |
I put back the supply of MM1 to the channel 1 of the MUST2 box (as in the normal configuration) and polarized the detectors to make a rapid re-check. I didn't see any detector tripping. MM1, switched on only for a couple of minutes, had a stable current at 1.3 uA. The stability of the detectors over time should anyway be checked better tomorrow leaving them polarized for a longer time.

Franco | GRIT | General | 3-alpha | Status of the set-up (February 3rd 2021) |
We re-mounted the annular, put the source and cooled down to 0 deg. Voltages and spectra are attached.
MG11 has a very high current (15 uA) but stable. MG9 started from 2 uA and its current is slightly increasing. The MUST2 detectors don't show anymore that oscillation in current that we observed one year ago. MM3 has a higher current (2.9 uA) with respect to the others.
Only 5 sectors are working for the annular, 8 less than last year. We need to check whether it is a problem of the kapton or of the detector itself. |

Franco | GRIT | Hardware | 3-alpha | Problems with the annular persist |
We opened the chamber to verify the connections of the kaptons but they were all well connected. We checked with the tester the conductivity of the kapton YA5 and it was fine so we excluded any problem related to the kapton. The boards are working properly (the pulser is well seen). We have to conclude that the problem comes from the detector. We made another alpha source run and indeed the result is the same as yesterday -> 5 sectors working on Y. We also tried to rise the HV of the annular up to 95V instead of the nominal 80V: the current went to 19 uA but no new sector appeared in the spectra.
Apart from the usual spectra, attached are also the pedestals of MG11, the alpha spectrum for ch48 of MG11_Y (one of the working sectors). The HV were the same as yesterday. |
