| The Soudan veto shield has been running for quite a long time now and it was recently realized that there is a problem with the correlation of times between different MUXes (front-end DAQ cards) and the NMM Symmetricom times. In particular, events which are contrived to be coincident (via a common pulser input) are apparently not coincident. The origin of this is not well understood but has been narrowed to some discrepancy in the clearing of the MUX card counters. The data is currently running with a muon trigger on the NMM and the correction times necessary for each mux is in the table below: | The Soudan veto shield has been running for quite a long time now and it was recently realized that there is a problem with the correlation of times between different MUXes (front-end DAQ cards) and the NMM Symmetricom times. In particular, events which are contrived to be coincident (via a common pulser input) are apparently not coincident. The origin of this is not well understood but has been narrowed to some discrepancy in the clearing of the MUX card counters. The data that ran around 07/25/2013 with a muon trigger on the NMM have the correction times necessary for each mux listed in the table below: |
