We thought the merge was broken, but the issue was the Raw Data gruscipt connecting to the wrong port.

Everything reestablished as before.
Fixed, e748, Wed Jul 5 15:30:03 2017, Freddy, OFFLINE, General, , MUST2 offline analysis of run 323 PID_M2_run332.png
Here is a plot of the MUST2 PID for telescope 3:
- dE - TOF with a veto on CsI_ to remove direct 12Be hitting the detector.
- dE - E ungated for a given crystal close to the beam axis

It concerns only 1 million events.

Fixed, e748, Wed Jul 5 18:36:49 2017, Freddy, OFFLINE, General, , PID from NUMEXO merged (partially) DeE_CHIO_NUMEXO_run323.png
Here is the PID(dE Vs E) plot obained using the IC energy from NUMEXO Vs the plastic energy coded in our acquisition for the long run of last night (323)

The resolution is indeed about 10% (estimated on the 12Be spot.

One can see another line around channel 185 in IC.

By looking at the merger code in more details, it seems obvious that we do not do the merge properly. Size of the file after the merge is much smaller than the input file and some event seems to be duplicated.
It has to be investigated and modified.

Tritons can be seen from the following plot. Some of them cross target frame and then lose 1.5MeV in the DSSDs.
12Be particles are stopped by the frame.

Hereby you can see some first signs of the elastic scattering 12Be(d,d)12Be
with punch through events that will be later taken care of, after the calibration of CsI.
Pinned, e748, Thu Jul 6 02:41:13 2017, Freddy and the night shifters, CHIO, General, , CHIO analog treatment 
Interestingly, the bipolar output of the amplifier of the CHIO sent (and splitted) to check correlation on the channel 15 of the ADC CHIO (or on channel 29 of the ADC MUST2) provides a much better resolution (about 10%) than the one obtained using the unipolar output that we were looking since then (about 20% resolution).

This can be understood by the fact that the bipolar signal from the spectroscopic amplifier filters the baseline fluctuation by deriving the unipolar signal.
On the attached PID plot, it is easy to see the improvment. On the other hand, the beam spot extends also at lower channels and covers part of the other lines.
Since the unipolar signal will have some negative part (undershoot), it is possible for pile-up signals to arrive on top of this negative part and end up with lower energy.

With numexo, the energies extracted from the digitized signals, this undershoot issue is not visible.

With NUMEXO, the energies extracted from the digitized signals, this pile-up issue is not visible (see other plots, with less stat).

With Caen digitzer, last plot, and a very basic algorithm.

We have explored all the possible way to extract signal from this detector. We are thinking of writting a Nature on this analysis, if collaborators have any comments on those plot, they are not welcome.
