Electronic Log for Fernando Franco Felix.

To do

Correct presentation

  • Specify that the emission reported by NEMO matches with 4-(3,3-Dimetylbutoxy)-para-Terphenyl, but that we cannot be sure for certain because it is protected IP
  • Use more text to explain how the calorimeter works and its purpose
  • Rewrite presentation considering that is is for me to understand
  • Send corrected presentation

Photodiodes

  • Get the NEP of the photodiodes at 380 nm
  • Confirm with Hamamatsu the minimum an maximum currents for the photodiode
  • Investigate how to calculate the intrinsic voltage
  • How are photodiodes used in CT scans
  • Use the resistance to calculate maximum photodiode current in all photodiodes of interest
  • Write progress report
  • Design circuit diagram of ADC and Photodiode
