Status
• Multichannel system is working
• Good data on 12 channels but 2 channels very low gain
• Switched to unused channels over the weekend don't know results yet
• 1 other channel has fiber damaged
• Lightning caused computer to reset need to get UPS
• Changed software to save data every hour

Analysis Software
• Wrote my own software using Visual Basic to display data
• Can display by data by cell or by PMT channel
• Can switch between top layer and bottom layer of cells
• Show small histogram bin=5
• Show large histogram bin=1
• Primitive method of finding pedestal, pedestal cutoff, first peak cutoff
• Scatter plots of all data, data above pedestal cutoff, data above first peak cutoff

Summary of Results
• Most show two peaks one of them is close to pedestal
• Is first peak single photoelectron, crosstalk, or noise?
• Not noise because I took samples with PMT covered by black paper and only get narrow pedestal
• Crosstalk can be– optical crosstalk in cells
– electrical crosstalk in PMT
• Way to be sure if electrical crosstalk is to use LED to stimulate one channel and study the effects on nearby channels
• First curve goes away when PMT HV is reduced from 1000V to 800V
• If first peak is single electron then light yield ~ 12 photoelectrons

Scatter Plots
• Also have scatter plots
• Can set the channel for the X-axis and then select top and bottom layers separately
• For example using Channel 4...

Next Steps
• Look at data from weekend with unused channels
• Stimulate PMT channel with PMT to determine electrical cross talk
• Enhance software
• Collect data with absorber
