2010 BTOW REPAIRS

Here is a summary of the repairs to BTOW during September and October of 2009.

1) Examine 4 sources of data to find problems:

    a) PMT HV control program (masked channels)

    b) Mathhew Walker: 2009 slope data

    c) Matthew Walker: 2009 MIP data

    d) 2009 LED data (about 2/3 of channels operating)

 

2) Made list of channels which had

    a) Masked during run in PMT HV program

    b) Have no mip/slope.  If channel has LED, also eliminated from list of problem channels

    c) Not in inaccessible PMT boxes: 9, 16, 23, 39, 46, 53

 

3) Examined each channel with oscilloscope to check for signal.  Then examined PMT box connector, cable and FEE connector for problems. 

4) Total of 44 channels recovered:
