- Vlad and Lubomir prepared a small setup for the CO2 measurements (pictures). The CO2 sensor was calibrated in the EEL126 with a certified gas mixture of Ar/CO2 with 59.66% CO2. Then we moved the setup to the hall and connected it at the same place where the oxygen sensor is supposed to be - right before the exhaust bubblers - where, using solenoid valves you can choose different chambers. We did short measurements with the CDC and the first FDC package - the results (including calibration) are summarized in the linked ppt file: CDC has 41.4%, FDC has 55.3% CO2 +/-0.3% RMS. The CDC measurements showed some variations but monitoring over longer period of time is needed.

- Right after these measurements, the software could no longer recognize the sensor and we were not able to do more measurements. Lubomir is contacting now the company to resolve the problem. We had also another issue with the plastic cup on the top of the sensor that had holes drilled in a wrong place, but Scot fixed it.

- Noami did measurements with the prototype at CMU for gas mixtures with 50,55 and 60% Ar, results for the most probable amplitudes and maximum drift times are plotted by Beni. Comparing to the results at JLab one estimates the gas in the Hall to be ~57.5% Ar, very similar when using amplitudes or drift times and also close to the CO2 measurements: 100% - 41.4%CO2 -0.33% propanol = 58.3% Ar.

- In summary in the CDC we have ~42% CO2 instead of 50%, and in the FDC the CO2 is 55% instead of 60%. It is not clear at all why this is happening.
