Saad Shaikh

• No meeting last week due to Simon & Sonia being at FRPT.
  • Spent a couple of days last week catching up on Lab 3 marking and PandA video editing.
• Provided Raffy with code to generate clocks for photodiode driver boards.
• Preliminary analysis of PARTREC data:
  • Artefacts seen in Manchester data have seemingly disappeared.
  • Beam quality significantly deteriorates in lower energies, likely due to aluminium beam degrader.
  • Average charge scales linearly with beam current for all energies, though not necessarily 1:1 ratio.
  • Differences from one energy to the next likely due to poorer beam quality and fewer diodes in lower energies.
