Recording on Zoom:
Participants: B. Moffit, P. King, D. Adhikari, D. McNulty, M. Gericke, S. Chatterjee
- Sayak: he now has the MPD readout working, after a firmware downgrade. He is starting to work on the decoder, and will check with Chandan to get the PREX2 code as an example
- Paul: Ryan has a preliminary design in Vitus for the VTP. We need to talk with Ben about how best to move forward, whether
- Dustin: when he illuminates a PMT (instrumented with one of the irradiated bases) with an LED he sees small pulses out-of-time from his LED pulse. Michael thinks it might just be thermal noise from the PMT, but Dustin thinks the rate is higher than he would expect from that.
- We discuss a few tests to characterize the noise
- Dustin: Discussing the cables for the PMTS. The counting mode signal cables we plan to borrow from SBS would be BNC terminated; the FADCs have Lemo inputs, so we'd need to have a BNC-to-Lemo conversion patch panel. We can buy a set of short patch cables in the DAQ budget.
- Michael: Jie has made a few more changes on the base to reduce some of the noise. They'll produce another 20 prototype bases next.
