Task 5 : Beamline pre-commissioning (search for improved upstream setting for muon beam)¶
- The main goal of these activities is to search for settings to improve muon rate by changing matching into the DS.
- The trigger needs to be set at TOF0.
- We need short runs of 500 target pulses

TOF Calibration run¶
- The beam line will be set for TOF Calibration run
- The goal will be to take 10000 target pulses.
- In order to study the apparent TOF gain problem Durga wants to lower the HV on the
- TOF PMTs by a small amount to check that the gains follow the voltage
- Lower the voltage on the TOF PMTs by 10% and do a TOF run
- REMEMBER TO RAISE THE VOLTAGES TO NOMINAL AGAIN
