=== QuARC ===

==== Dual-sided readout analysis ====

=== QuADProBe - Fibres ===

==== 1st prototype measurements (with Zybo + NI) ====

* Continue to work with Raffy on optimising analysis code.

=== [[ELogs/SoniaEscribano|Sonia Escribano]] ===

* Re-analysed SOBP field and box field UCLH 2024 measurements to account for ~2.5 mm WET thickness of TC+CMOS. Also further analysis revealed that the first (highest energy) pencil beam was not acquired by the QuARC in the SOBP and that one of the later pencil beam measurements was duplicated.

* Added saturation messages to GUI ready for FLASH beam measurements.
** Will do without calibration.

=== [[ELogs/JoeBateman|Joe Bateman]] ===

* Redoing simulations and data analysis for paper review with new energies that include the additional WET.

* Pete Hastings finished power distribution board - will see of we can make at UCL elec. eng

* Andy has finished kria carrier board design.

=== [[ELogs/JoeBateman|Joe Bateman]] ===

* Looked further into single-ended and differential pair signals which are shared across the PD arrays and which are unique for Heidelberg SciFi - ADC - FPGA design and beginning to look into the same for the Hamamatsu digital readout PD arrays.

* Geant4 QuARC simulation over HEP batch farm with 20 million primaries - still not enough stats for the PD scoring area so will need to look into ways to filter optical photon production/transport to improve simulation efficiency.

* Need to verify FLASH condition and scanning with TIFPA ahead of beam time
* First week of September assembling new fibre prototype in Bari - second week at UCL (?) to try and fit in QuARC enclosure
* DAQ laptop needed for NI software for fibre acquisition (dual booted laptop needed) - will need network switch close by. Ox - so more short cables needed and a power supply with usb socket needed to be sat near the box
* Three plug sockets (1 laptop , 1 fpga and 1 national instruments needed for fibres).
* Currently 2 power supplies needed for QuARC (or 1 if Pete Hastings makes power distribution in time)
* Away first 2 weeks of august.

=== [[ELogs/SoniaEscribano|Sonia Escribano]] ===

* UCLH QuARC analysis
** Analysis of side b of quarc detector
** Looked at beam alignment - Prague issue not present
** Good energy measurement of pristine Bragg peaks - better agreement as moving towards lower energies (i.e. < 1 MeV for 225 MeV)
** Strange fitting for b side 150 meV
** Between 95 and 85 mev faulty pd means QB curve is strange shape
** Big shift at 80 mev between reconstructed and reference for some reason even though the pd isnt causing an issue
** Add a fit to the sum of the photodiodes from each side
** First few photodiodes of first board of side b seems to be very high but other photodiodes are in close agreement on both sides
** Shoot through back on module one producing strange shape
* Starting to test new rev f Oxford boards
** 3rd board very noisy
** All boards together and two that are separate
** 6th board does not acquire measurements
** P2b05 v noisy
** P2b06 does not acquire measurements
** 8 boards work and 4 don’t - successfully daisy chained 8 boards together

== Minutes for UCL Proton Beam Therapy Group Meetings, 8th July ==

=== Present ===

'''Joe Bateman''', '''Febian''', '''Raffaella Radogna (via teams)''', '''Matt Warren''', '''Simon Jolly'''

=== [[ELogs/RaffaellaRadogna|Raffaella Radogna]] ===

* Going to Rome next week to obtain square fibre prototypes and will send/bring one here

* Adapting frame for square fibres and current QuARC enclosure

=== [[ELogs/JoeBateman|Joe Bateman]] ===

* Still working on Front. Onc. paper due at end of month.

* Started delving further into technical documentation of Heidelberg SciFi monitor

* Heidelebr max10 fpga code written with verilog and compiled with quartus - need to look into what version they use.

== Experiment Plan ==

For each beam delivery, our acquisition time is 5 seconds. This gives us an optimal number of events. For FLASH beam time restrictions, we could consider reducing the acquisition time, if necessary.
* Set up mains cabling and networking in treatment and control rooms.
** no beam
* Install Peli case on treatment couch.
** no beam
* Background
** no beam
* Calibration shoot-through measurements of 4 stack modules: either rotating case or modules for back shoot-through:
** 8 beam deliveries 245 MeV conventional current (2 beam deliveries (back and forth) per each module)
** additional 2 or 3 beam deliveries 245 MeV at conventional current might be needed to find the minimum DDC232 FSR that does not saturate the signal.
** 8 beam deliveries 245 MeV FLASH current (2 beam deliveries (back and forth) per each module)
** additional 2 or 3 beam deliveries 245 MeV at FLASH current might be needed to find the minimum DDC232 FSR that does not saturate the signal.
* Pristine Bragg peak measurements at clinical current for full clinical range:
** 19 beam deliveries from 245 MeV and 240 to 70 MeV in 10 MeV steps.
* Pristine Bragg peak measurements at FLASH current for full clinical range:
** 19 beam deliveries from 245 MeV and from 240 to 70 MeV in 10 MeV steps at FLASH current.
*** if there is FLASH beam time limitation we can take less energies points. Moreover, we could reduced the acquisition time for each FLASH beam delivery.
* Spot scanning:
** pristine Bragg Peak measurements at fixed energy (i.e. 150 MeV and 245 MeV) and clinical current shifting the beam up, down, left and right wrt isocenter by 3mm
*** 4 beam deliveries per energy

=== Setup ===

* Peli case set up on FLASH station.
* Network connected through TIFPA experimental room patch panel:
** Inside experimental room:
*** Long cable from patch panel (1) to DLink switch.
*** Long cable from switch to QuARC.
*** Short cable from switch to profile monitor DAQ laptop.
** Inside control room:
*** Long cable from patch panel (5) to GL.iNet Slate router.
*** Short cables to laptops.
* Case aligned to room lasers:
** Blocks used for levelling.
** Set up on height adjustable platform.
** Aligned to front cover plate.

== Measurements 29/09/2025 ==

* Approximately 100 minutes running 29/09/2025 (20:50–22:30).
* Peli case set up '''without''' movable stage: 1cm block under front, ~3mm under rear to level case.
* Isocentre at upstream face of first stack (level with inner edge of wheel mounts).
* Alignment checked with in room lasers after each adjustment.
* Beam optics are '''different''' between CONV mode and FLASH mode:
** Other than FLASH shoot through measurement with stack 1, running restricted to CONV mode.
** Current sufficient at maximum ion source current to almost saturate QuARC).
* SciFi monitor '''not''' installed.

=== General notes about the electronics ===

* Hamamatsu C9118-02 operated in Low Gain
** In low gain the dark output voltage is typ. 0.005 mV, max 0.1 mV
** The saturation output voltage is min. 3 V typ 3.5 V
* MCLK 1 MHz. Suggested min. reset time 10us and suggested min. integration time 17+4x128 clocks = 529 us.
* FPGA high period of RESET clock (reset) = 50 us, low period (integration) 950 us.* Link to the datasheet

== Measurements 01/10/2025 ==

* Start time 20:05.
* Approximately 160 minutes running 30/09/2025 (20:05–22:25).
* Peli case set up '''without''' movable stage.
* QuARC modules removed: SciFi monitor only installed at front of rails.
* Isocentre approximately aligned with first SciFi array (level with inner edge of wheel mounts).
* Alignment checked with in room lasers after each adjustment.
* Beam optics '''only''' using CONV mode.
* '''No QuARC data recorded'''.

=== High Gain Saturation Measurements ===

Saturation measurements with SciFi high gain setting.
