This will be the temporary location of my journal until I figure out how to link it to another site.
Day one: I was formally introduced to the standard
model. Introductions were made. I was given a tour of Swain Hall
and saw the prototype CRD.
During the
afternoon I took on the task of plateauing the PMT's. After a short
course of hexadecimal coding, we finished two plateaus.
Day two: We had a more in depth lecture about the
standard model. A short break, then we started working these here
web sites. After a tasty lunch,
we broke into
groups and I started to teach a few of the other campers how to plateau
their own PMT's.
Day three: We discussed the electronics as a group.
Then, we took a walk over to the kirkwood observatory. Ate lunch.
proceeded to plauteau panel assemblies.
finished then
after testing more found that the discriminators were set wrong.
And we will need to recalibrate the three panels that were done.
this shouldn't
be to hard
to do.
Day four: In the morning, we discussed the system
capabilities and some experiments that could be done. During the
afternoon I plateaued panel 4, but after a lot
of data was
gathered i realized that the pmt connection to the scintillator plate was
disturbed. Looks like most of the afternoon might have been wasted.
Then
we set the two panels in coincidence. the boards doning the calaculations
started to screw up.
