Electronic Log for Fernando Franco Felix.

To do

Correct presentation

• Specify that the emission reported by NEMO matches with 4-(3,3-Dimetylbutoxy)-para-Terphenyl, but that we cannot be sure for certain because it is protected IP

• Use more text to explain how the calorimeter works and its purpose

• Rewrite presentation considering that is is for me to understand

• Send corrected presentation

Photodiodes

• Get the NEP of the photodiodes at 380 nm

• Confirm with Hamamatsu the minimum an maximum currents for the photodiode

• Investigate how to calculate the intrinsic voltage

• How are photodiodes used in CT scans
