Simple Test Experiments for PSA Calibration Checklist Doppler
Simple Test Experiments for PSA Calibration • Checklist • Doppler corrected spectra with (d, p) • Influence of t 0 on PSA with time aligned data • A not ancillary R. Gernhäuser AGATA week, July. 2008, Uppsala
Checklist • principle functionality of DAQ • cabling and energy resolution • detector parameters (Tau, gain, offset. . . ) • segment ordering in DAQ and analysis • precise detector positions • Doppler correction on segment level -> PSA • orientation of Crystals (and axis) • PSA and 3 D distributions • Doppler correction on PSA level at second distance • check t 0 algorithm • . . . R. Gernhäuser AGATA week, July. 2008, Uppsala
KISS Strategy (Keep It Small and Simple) 1. tests using sources 2. first try the least effort experiment 3. high precision experiment R. Gernhäuser • principle functionality of DAQ • cabling and resolution • detector parameters (Tau, gain, offset. . . ) • PSA 3 D distributions • segment ordering in DAQ and analysis • orientation of Crystals • precise detector positions • Doppler correction on segment level • Doppler correction on PSA level at second distance (z-contribution) • Doppler correction on PSA level particle and t 0 corrected AGATA week, July. 2008, Uppsala
Least Effort Experiment Use a Tandem beam (better focus, less setup time, dc) Use only AGATA DAQ - no other readout systems Use large cross sections Use largest effect on interaction position àDoppler correction around 90 o (no Prisma? ) is (d, p) an option?

Cologne Test Experiment (Francesco Recchia) small disadvantages: Q = 9. 4 Me. V (larger scattering, p not stopped) E ~ 2 Me. V/A (Legnaro? ) Eg < 1. 8 Me. V Complicated particle CD detector (ancillary) positions vs angles R. Gernhäuser AGATA week, July. 2008, Uppsala
