Electronic Log for Sonia Escribano

To Do

  • Port Saad's FPGA data replay code to Python → copied
  • Duplicate functionality of Fern's GUI in D3.


Knowledge Transfer

1. Scintillators

The main properties of our scintillators are:

  • ρ = (1.03±0.01)g cm-3
  • decay constant = 2.5 ns
  • maximum emission at 425 nm (blue-violet)
  • light output = 56% of anthracene
  • n = 1.57

In total we have 302 scintillator sheets. Their production mechanisms and average thicknesses are summarised in this file []. The order in which the scintillators are assembled in each stack is available in the GUI, inside every experimental run log.

  • Each sheet thickness is measured in 8 different points of the scintillator: 4 corners, and 4 middle parts of each side.
  • The uncertainty is simply calculated as the standard deviation.
  • For the scintillator stacks used in Manchester and PARTREC we measured the thickness in 3 points.
  • Clear polished scintillators (machine block) offer the best light output.

GUI

  • Modify code to give - instead of 0 when fit not performed ✓
  • Plot data with 20 points ✓
  • Upload files to new directory
  • Modify position of error bars ✓
  • x-axis zooming problem: only some numbers work ✓
  • Fix misalignment between PDdata and FITdata ✓
  • Test access from NUC PC

Replay + Fit

  • Check parameter limits with Saad
  • Fit data with 20 points instead of 10 to avoid harsh lines ✓
  • Print date and time of original file, not produced ones ✓
  • Create only one calibration with backST and frontST
  • Test code on NUC PC
  • Add fitted rate to header ✓

Done

  • PARTREC pictures uploaded to: /unix/pbt/data/partrec/20221125/Pictures
  • Cut Mylar foil sheets for Manchester experiment
  • Talk to Derek about Mylar foil.
  • Probation meeting with Simon (fill form)
  • Set up new MacBook Pro: might need dual booting (talk to Tony Hoare about Windows).
  • Set up Geant4 simulations of detector → copied and running

Quick-start

  • Get user name + email ✓
  • Get ID card: book appointment online ✓
  • Mandatory safety training courses: Safety Induction + Fire Safety ✓
  • Book departamental safety induction with Lee Bebbington ✓
  • Mandatory training courses: GDPR, information security, freedom of information, DSE, diversity, unconscious bias, ✓
  • Create a wiki account ✓
  • Register for an account on the HEP Linux cluster (email support@hep.ucl.ac.uk) ✓
  • Install Geant4 (instructions: [1]) ✓
  • Set up bank details online on myHR ✓
