====== Calibration ====== The BLM calibration is performed with a 137Cs source. The source emits a single gamma at 661.7 keV. The source activity was 323.2 kBq as of 11.01.2019. Its serial number is AB-9020, 370 kBq when purchased. I have used 10 s integration time and set all BLM to count 30 k. (3 kHz) Note on the light yield. Reference Glenn Knoll 3rd edition p.235 and p226 NE102A 10 k photons per MeV. BC400 light output 0.65 of NE102A (anthrscene). Hence one can expect: 6500 photons / keV Bellow is a spectrum taken with the HDO6104A scope when for a BLM set to count 3 kHz (in this case XP2972 34391) {{:hi:hi:sn34391-137cs-1275v--00000.jpg?700|}} ====== XP2972 PMT History ====== CBS - Cathode Blue sensitivity ABS - For a anode blue sensitivity Id - Dark current ^ SN ^ CBS [uA/lmF] ^ ABS [A/lmF] ^ HV [V] ^ Id[nA] ^ Gain [106] ^ Comment ^ | 34391 | 12.6 | 10 | 1188 | 4.98 | 0.79 | new, will be installed in TE1 | | 29181 | | | | | | used, low gain, was in S07DL1R | ====== GS06DL3U ====== Reason for the service: The detector counts more than 10 times compare to the detectors above, left and right of it.
