Fixede755 Wed Jun 27 10:15:36 2018 takeshiRUNGeneralCryo-LH2run summary for 38Ca + liq. H2
Here is the summary of the measurement of 38Ca + liq H2 setting.
We obtain 49.45-hour data acquisition time, which contains 1.4 * 10^6 CATS DIV triggered event.
The CATS DIV factor is 30000 for each CATS, so we can estimate the "gated beam rate", the beam rate including dead time of the DAQ, was 1.2 * 10^5 cps.
This value implies the dead time of the data acquisition is almost 50%, since the physical count rate of CATS was about 2.5 * 10^5 cps during the run.
Similarly, we totally obtained 2.2 * 10^10 counts of "gated beam". This value would help to compare with and estimate the statistics of the 36Ca setting.

See google spreadsheet for detail.

TUNING OF 38Ca to be ready during the night, after the change of CO source at the machine between 21h and 2am (maybe).
LISE team: Omar K, Jean-Charles T. Tuning made for 38Ca at 21h for Run 162.

NB the GECO ionization configuration is ok.
Phone call by Antoine at 20h40. he asked to check that there is external trigger to run later at 10**5/s see snapshot GECOIonizationTrigger.png ok.

NB: At 21h05 Daisuke puts back the 30ns delay on the time for the TAC Tcats1 HF, to be ready for the running conditions of 38ca during the night/morning data taking.

Fixede755 Wed Jun 27 22:11:20 2018 Pierre LouisOFFLINEGeneralCryo-LH2Offline analysis of 38Ca(p,d)37Ca
Here are some plot summarizing the analysis status on the 38Ca(p,d) channel.

Run concerned: 128-156 (from 25/06 @ 17h11 to 27/06 @ 7h03)
Running time: 33 hours
Gates applied:

  • Target Impact (from CATS)
  • Deuton in dE-E
  • Incoming 38Ca, TCATS2_HF in [200;1000]
  • Outgoing (Z=20)Ca, dE-E (IC-PL)

We analysed statistics in the Ground States of 38Ca(p,d) and compared to statistics of the 38Ca(p,t) channel telescope by telescope


38Ca(p,t)36Ca:


T1: mean = -0.84
sigma = 0.608
Count number = 302

T2: mean = -1.06
sigma = 0.76
Count number = 238

T3: mean = -1.70
sigma = 0.77
Count number = 342

T4: mean = -1.57
sigma = 1.21
Count number = 271

TOTAL_t_GS = 1153



38Ca(p,d)37Ca:


T1: mean = 0.71
sigma = 0.73
Count number = 2868

T2: mean = 0.18
sigma = 0.66
Count number = 1828

T3: mean = 0.23
sigma = 0.81
Count number = 3536

T4: mean = 0.127
sigma = 0.88
Count number = 3240

TOTAL_d_GS = 11472

Remarks:
  • see 10 times more statistics in the ground states of 37Ca than in 36Ca
  • resolution of the t channel is 80% of the resolution of the d channel
  • excited states in (p,d) channel are more populated than the ground state

Fixede755 Thu Jun 28 01:22:43 2018 NoriBEAMGeneralN/ABrho2 scan for 36Ca
We scanned Brho2 values so that the yield for 36Ca is maximized (LISE run0282-0284, F31 = +/-6 mm). 

Attachment 1:
Yields of 32S, 30P, 29Si (strong contaminants) and 36Ca as a function of the Brho2 value.
We can see that different contaminants dominate if the Brho2 setting is changed. The shaded region corresponds to the momentum spread
determined by the slit F43 (0.25%, shown only for DeltaBrho2 = 0%). The 36Ca yields are too small to see.

Attachment 2:
36Ca yields that cannot be seen in the previous figure.

Attachment 3:
Fitting of 36Ca yields assuming that the distribution is a Gaussian.

Fixede755 Thu Jun 28 01:39:58 2018 NoriBEAMGeneralN/ADiscussion for 37Ca
Offline analysis of LISE run0281. F31 = +/-0.6 mm, without wedge.
The number of counts of 37Ca was 900/50 = 18 times larger than 36Ca.
Comparing this result with a LISE++ simulation, if the Brho setting is optimized for 37Ca,
we expect to gain 12 x 4 = 48 times higher beam intensity.
Considering that the EPAX parametrization tends to over predict production cross-sections of neutron-deficient
exotic nuclei, the prediction for the 37Ca yield would be more reliable than 36Ca.
A rough estimate of the beam intensity is shown below.

36Ca 1.5 pps (100 nA, +/-6 mm) -> 37Ca 100 pps (100 nA, +/-6 mm) -> 37Ca 16 kpps (4 uA, +/-24 mm)
