Test on RO: PMT basis, mixer, amplifier

We started by calibrating the lead module, which had been centered in the beam using previous runs not listed here (see logbook), using an 80 GeV e- beam. We used CAEN ADCs to read out the signals and moved the table to point the beam to the center of the different towers. We then followed with a repeat of these measurements wit the beam centered in tower 3 only at different electron beam energies. The table gives the online analysis of these runs.

Tower Run ADC C ADC S
4 6928 817 773
3 6929 815 775
2 6930 817 833
1 6931 819 857

Moving back to tower 3 (note run 6929 matches these conditions), we took data at additonal energies:

e- Energy (GeV) Run ADC C ADC S
150 6933 1220 1660
125 6936 1117 1310
100 6934 1011 1068
50 6935 441 371
30 6932 207? 152?

These results show significant non-linearity in the ADC response. There followed an extensive set of runs in which HV variations, capacitive coupling, and different ADC's were tried. The results were not significantly different, so we switched to using oscilloscope readout for the remainder of the studies. Online results will not be repeated here, since they require more extensive analysis, but the settings for the oscilloscope scales are recorded here for convenience.
