Average amplitude and RMS over pads for some of runs from the range 898-914

Average amplitude and their RMS is calculated over all "good" pixels for each ASIC
in each event. The event by event variation of the average amplitude demonstrates the "common-noise"
background. The value of RMS shows a spread of amplitudes over ASIC.  One would expect the event by event variation of RMS should be small.

In run 898 ASIC 4 and 8 RMS is step-wise changing from ~40 to ~90 ADC units. In ASICs 7 and 14  RMS is rising with event number...

CSpad images for runs 898-914

Image for each run is obtained by averaging of 100 events (rate is normalized per a single event).

Bad pixel map

Use file provided by Philip Hart to remove all bad pixel-channels:
Exceptional pixel file for Cspad1 made from xppcom10/525 and xpp23210/449

• 1=very hot (>20 ADU in pedestal run) - 134 pixels, or 0.02%
• 2=hot (>10 ADU in pedestal run) - 5026 pixels, or 0.9%
• 4=dead (noise < 3 ADU in data run - almost all at 0 or 1 ADU) - 698 pixels, or 0.1%

run 908 dark image for low gain (dark rate is subtracted using r907) Difference between two dark rate images

Run 909 att=1 low gain (dark rate is subtracted using r907)

Run 910 att=1 low gain (dark rate is subtracted using r907)

Run 911 att=1 low gain (dark rate is subtracted using r907) Detector is moved for few mm

Run 912 att=0.1 low gain (dark rate is subtracted using r907)

Run 913 att=0.1 low gain with wires (dark rate is subtracted using r907)

Run 914 att=0.1 low gain with wires (dark rate is subtracted using r907)

We use configuration parameters from microscopic (optical) measurement. It is clear that this configuration parameters are not perfect for real detector; some of 2x1are significantly ~1mm moved w.r.t. microscopic (optical) measurement.

Manipulation with images

Difference between runs 904(before move) - 912(moved), both runs att = 0.1

The difference between the original and moved image is relatively small ~2.5% of signal, but everything is done in low gain mode, where we actually have ~30 photons / pixel.

In summary, the nonuniformity of the illumination is ~2.5%.

Quantitatively this difference is presented in the next Z-projection plot.

Z-projections of (differential) images

Run numbers are shown in histogram titles:

The difference between dark image amplitudes at High and Low gain mode is ~155 ADC units.
Comparison of runs 899 and 904 (att.=0.1) gives the gain ratio High/Low = 495/66 = 7.5
Comparison of runs 902 and 903 (att.=0.05) gives the gain ratio High/Low = 26/4.5 = 5.8. So, the gain is not a lilear function of intensity...
