Re: Si-PIN Detector Background?

Geo,

The purpose of the background runs was to compare the 4.8 to the 32 usec peaking time with changing nothing else ¨C everything the same between the 2 runs. Set up the same, settings the same, just change the peaking time. We want to see the difference in low energy noise between the two. ?Try re-running it with identical setups.

3600s Background Scan. Peaking time previously fine tuned to 4.9 us.
No rad sources or Exciter sources.
Shop made Amptek Si-PIN XR-100-CR flex-cable connected to Amptek DP-5/PC5 stack in a shop made housing. Sensor head is in a shop made aluminum lined 3/8" lead chamber/shield with a port to introduce weak tube generated microfocus X-Rays.
All the hits are 1 count, and 1 channel wide.

The first 0-2keV is cut off because of system noise. This is easy using the RANGE settings. There might be a way to cut off the 0-2 Counts along the bottom, I haven't found it.
