Fiber Order
Lei contacted Kuraray and ordered 1 × 1 mm fibers. They have arrived. They will be clamped into a shape that can be attached to a scintillator.
Scintillator Order
The scintillator will arrive from Plastic Craft by June 13.
Resolution Studies
Werner is doing measurements with the SiPM array he has to try to understand the source of the timing variance. Using a leading-edge discriminator he is trying to predict the resolution one should expect from the width of the pedestal (noise), and the measured rise time of signals. He corrects for time walk in software. So far he sees resolution consistent with noise driving the observed resolution.
sipm's have arrived,
fernando has made pre-amps for them gains are 35 and 70 both look good measurements done with reference pmt want to do measurements ourselves
fernando on vacation, ask monday for new pre-amp
will build light guide with clear fiber
tuesday werner will be here
special electronics
30 vs 40, more space, each detector ratio of machined area to pressed area better for 30 paddle 15 mm for 40, 12 mm
drawings will be done at jlab
segmentation question from Sascha : werner motivated by aspect ratio thing
