Minutes
Attending: Elton, Beni, David, John, Ben, Yi, Tim (Jlab); Will, Javiera, Orlando, Iñaki (USM); Zisis, Andrei (UofR); Christina, George, Stratos (Athens)
- Announcements
- Students (and Zisis) from UofR arrive on July 9
- Review of Action Items
- Update from Athens: monitoring
- SiPMs for testing. One in regular mail (needs to be tracked down) and 3 to be hand-carried by George
- Orders
- Requests have been made, but little response.
- Update from USM
- SiPM Update (Javiera)
- Fourth shipment from Hamamatsu arrived on June 20
- All units from first three shipments completed in stage 3. Starting to test 4th shipment
- 265 units PDE measured in stage 2. 15 more required to complete all measurements
- Zisis: request a summary table from Javiera during update.
- Discussion on what information must be provided on the tested SiPMs
- Will: Suggestion to provide a dump of the data base for each shipment delivered. Note that this is simply a snapshot in time that can change when analyses are updated.
- Consider various options for concise summaries also.
- Yi: JLab has three tables a) specification and Hamamatsu data b) All run information and raw data c) summary of measurements
- Failed units: one from USM with a dead channel, one from JLab that fails to meet one of the specifications.
- Contract and pulse shape
- Pulse shape measurements are dominated by the response of the JLab preamps. Is is worth doing these systematically
- Elton: Checking signals on scope can be very informative.
- Revisiting the dark current measurements (Orlando)
- The dark current measurements seem to be low. Data have been taken with the oscilloscope to cross check the measurements (in progress).
