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.
