Noise tests of UCLH beam test setup in D109/D27.

Aim: Investigate source of external electronic noise observed at UCLH by measuring dark noise in lab/office with CMOS sensor turned off/on.

Notes

  • D27 is an electronically noisy lab whereas D109 is a quieter office (though still not a perfectly shielded environment).
  • Test 2 DDC232 boards coupled to scintillator stack.
  • CMOS sensor coupled to scintillator stack on perpendicular face.
  • Both CMOS sensor daughter board and DDC232 Nexys Video board in detector enclosure.
  • In all runs, an integration time of 170us is used.
  • Video steps through individual consecutive acquisitions at frame rate shown. Each frame represents 170us in time.
  • Histogram of one photodiode also provided. Expect to see clean gaussian shape if no external noise is being picked up.
    • Signal photodiode shown for Run 14.
  • Note the absolute value of the y-scale, which differs in some clips.
