3 months ago Some information for you:
- AIDA already has a stopped flag to determine where it stops (the logic is basically as you describe, the most downstream detector with an implant signal)
- For bPlas you need to be more creative to determine if it's a likely nuclei or a light particle or decay (or noise)
- Spills from SIS are pretty unstable so take an average over a minute or so or you'll just get excessive fluctuations that hide anything interesting
- The PID gates will drift over a week :)
AIDA already has a time distribution of implants (and decays), it could be extended to one per FRS PID gate too to see the rate of PIDs in the two AIDAs
It would be nice to have a task that takes a FRS PID gate and monitors the implantation rate of each ID'd nucleon implanted. It should also display the total implanted nuclei of this species, which is useful for nearline and show a plot averaged over some time interval to display the stability of FRS etc etc I initially was thinking this task only use the FRS data but maybe trying to determine which layer of the implantation stack the nuclei stop in is also intersting. (Check which implantation layers give a signal and the most downstream detector with a signal is where it stopped?)
