To-do List

Analysis List:
  1. Modify decoder for the updated Mott_SemiInt mode. Started: /work/idaq/Mott/Analysis/1, Runs: 7642, 7672.
  2. Update MottOnline
  3. Add BPM Analysis
  4. Replace "PEPPo" with "Mott" in scripts, decoder, ... .
  5. Add delayed helicity analysis for Mott_Sample and Mott_SemiInt Modes. Delayed analysis is already included for Scalers and PEPPo_Int Modes.


Things to do to speed up the DAQ and reduce deadtime:
  1. Upgrade the time-of-flight readout to the FADC TDC mode
  2. Upgrade the scalers readout to the FADC Scaler mode
  3. Add Block Readout
  4. Reduce the Mott Trigger rate by rejecting low energy electrons or dump events:
    1. Increase the E-detector discriminator threshold
    2. Veto the dump events using the beam timing signal
