Threshold Scan • Good correlation between threshold and N.SG1. 1Hz is reasonable true cosmic rate. • Poor correlation between threshold and S.SG1. Not rates are not reproducible.

Masking Octant-1 (Thr=40mV) 20min Study by Dahee and SeYoung
Observation So Far • Octant-1 which has intrinsic eigenvalue of 300Hz@40mV. • This high rate quenches completely by masking octant-1. Masking at LL1 or MRG doesn't matter. • Rate excursion up to >10kHz with 5 -10 minutes of lifetime originated Octant-3. Excursion repeats during the run.

Threshold Scan Plot by Dahee Threshold change every stations all together. North SG1_South Rate [Hz] Threshold change only station-3a MRG#80 (rests are fixed at 40mV). Threshold [mV] • The threshold scan result indicates clear threshold dependence. • The slope somewhat gets shallow between 30mV to 60mV. • Compared to North, South rate responses quite shallow and not normal response.

SG1 Octant-3 High Rate Excursion Plot by SeYoung (Ewha University) 20kHz Frequency stays reasonably constant, whereas amplitudes vary by factor of 6 or so.
Peak to Peak Intervals Plot by Dahee Intervals are constant within +/- 30 seconds. However their variations can not be explained within the peak position error.
Run13 Threshold Response of Octant-1 Run12 Octant-1 Cosmic SG1~50kHz Run12 Octant-1 Physcs SG1~1kHz South Plot by Dahee (Ewha University) North Run12 Cosmic Rate ~40kHz is consistent with present measurement. Physics run was operated at 30mV and likely to be operated around 1kHz.
