Time Dependence of FMS Pulser Data (Sun Jan 16)

Updated on Thu, 2011-01-20 03:48. Originally created by heppel on 2011-01-19 19:15.
The following runs were collected Sunday Night Jan 16 over a 3 hour period with the STAR magnet on. The data were collected at an event rate of about 3 HZ with runs of 1000 events, assigned event numbers from 1 to 1000.
The variable
X=(RunNum-12016000)*1000+Evtnum 

is essentially time in units of 1/3 second, with jumps when the run and HV is changed.

 For each channel in runs 12016013 through 12016018 we plot the ADC distribution vs X (8Mb pdf) . The time range is about 40 Min.
 A larger plot (22Mb pdf ) is similar but includes all these runs and the full 3 hour period for each channel. These results can be (have been) plotted as
adc vs set voltage . However, if the gains are jumping around during the time of measurement, then these gain-voltage plots are less meaningful.
 
 
Each page of these plots includes 16 cells of ADC data. Lets look at th first page of the 3 hour plot  (A larger plot)
 
 
 
To check for time independent response of large cells, we look at the 40 min Plot.
 
 
So we are looking for problem cells where time dependence of ADC is seen between X=14000 && 17000, where the Large Cell High Voltage is constant at 1600 Volts.
 
So of the first 16 large cells,  which cells are showing clear instability? The plots shown above are pages 2 of the linked pdf files.
1) r0_c0_0  (Row=0 Col=0 NSTB=1) clearly instable +-100%
2) r0_c1_0  we need to look at it. Sometimes drops to 1/3 value.
3) r0_c2_0  we need to look at it. Some anomalous points but overall not too bad.
4) r0_c3_0 Looks instable +- 100%
9)  r0_c8_0 Instable +- 50%
 
bad ratio 3/16
 
Look at 2) and 3), which are not good but not too bad, it seems that some of the jumps are correlated. In particular, during run 12016027, there is a correlated jump in 2) black and 3) blue. The red is a stable channel.
