Construction

  • Target date to finish construction - 11/02/2011 (Wed)
  • Drive from IU to JLab for installation - 11/03/2011 (Thur)~

Electronics

  • Have put together NIM modules at IU, no need to borrow any NIM modules
  • Have tested inputs/outputs, all units working
  • Output widths of all NIM modules with adjustable widths set to 50 ns. As long as the rate of electrons coming in is less than 20 MHz,

we should be fine (the total rate on the CLAS tagger should be on this order).

Beam Rates

Rates measured on floor with scintillators
Rates measured on floor with scintillating fibres


  • The difference between the two figures seems to stem from the scintillating fibres having

directional dependence on the incoming electrons. Without any veto on the incoming electron direction, it seems we will be saturated with scattered electrons.

  • Also note that these measurements were done near the end of the beam, where there is

lots of scattering as the main beam exits the vacuum.
