A Look At The Noise From HBD west Jason for the SB Tent Crew Sept 12, 2006
the noise is very gaussian, no long tails! • monitoring 16 ch. (48 read out in data). • sigma ~1.5, similar for all live channels. non-pulsed channels live channels prototype Noise from HBD west • Chi came and set up his electronics • running a pulser through the preamps. signal ~17 ns slices sample #

Conclusions • non-Gaussian tails of the noise distribution are gone. • Probability to fire on the noise: • <1% at 3σ • <5% at 2σ • There is some (tiny, but non-zero) lower-frequency noise also. • All noise of HBD west on the bench is tiny compared to the prototype in the hall. • We’re ready and waiting for the data to start coming out of the hall.
