Day shift: 9am–9pm /  Night shift : 9pm–9am

Day/weekDateActivitiesPrograms
ThursdayNov/1Dismantling previous experiment. ESA setup preparation starts 10am. 
FridayNov/2Day: preparation  /  Night: first beam ~9pm 
SaturdayNov/3Day: beam run  / Night:  MD, no beam to ESTBInitial test runs
SundayNov/4Day: ESTB beam / Night: no ESTB beamComplete setup / first runs
MondayNov/5Day: ESTB beam / Night: no ESTB beam2x LBNL devices at 0 degrees
TuesdayNov/6Day ESTB beam  / Night: no ESTB beam2x LBNL devices at inclined
WednesdayNov/7Day: ESTB beam until ~11pm end of period2x SLAC devices

Main goals:

  • Test 4 RD53A single chip modules with different types of planar sensors from LBNL and SLAC.
  • Characterize spatial resolution for difference pixel sizes 50x50 and 25x100, different active thickness 100um and 150um.
  • Absolute charge calibration for MIP hits
  • Diagnose L1 time dispersion
  • Further studies of different RD53A FE types and efficiencies,   
  • Commission LBNL cosmic telescope in beam 

...

  • Debug the RD53A 0x0A53 (C) setup 
  • Special timing tests 
  • Cosmic telescope self-trigger mode ? Recovering 2nd module ? 
  • Systematic RD53a data taking runs 
  • Cosmic telescope data runs to map out all device areas

9:45 AM Beam turned on with ~40 hits per beam on MIMOSA

...

14:25  Ended Run 428 for access. RD53A timing setup adustmentsadjustments, Added a Lemo-T to the TLU beam trigger input to send a signal to HSIO2 Ext trigger LEMO port to allow cosmic telescope to be driven by the beam trigger independently with cosmicGui. Also took out the lemo on first module's HitOR just in case that might be a noise source.

20:34  Run 458 ended after reaching 10K events and auto started Run 459.

21:05  MCC called to take away beam. Ended Run 459.  Done for the day.

Summary of good runs. Particles rates estimates ~ clusters/events for MIMOSA/RD53a

Plan of the day

  • Continued accumulating statistics with the current 2 LBNL RD53a modules at 0 degrees
  • Investigate cosmicGui setup and routing beam trigger to HSIO2 for independent Cosmic telescope runs
