Neutron wall B analysis

• Position calibration
  • Run by run calibration
  • Bar-by-bar position resolutions (update to GitHub)
  • Error propagation (to final spectrum)
• Charged-particle veto
  • Crude filter (any hits on VW imply charged-particles)
  • Cone projection filter (or estimate how much % could be improved)
    • Multiplicity v.s. centrality
  • Consistent with WMU
• Pulse shape discrimination
  • Batch by batch
  • Cause for changes between batches
  • Error analysis and time-of-flight analysis
  • Error propagation (to final spectrum)
• Light output calibration (ADC -> MeVee)
  • Cosmic + AmBe five-point calibration
  • Bug fixed: Incorrect dimension of NW bars
  • Why the 12C(n, d) peak is not as apparent as before?
  • Bug: Kinematics is not monotonic, i.e. cut at fixed energy, yield does not decrease as theta increases
• Shadow bar analysis
  • Correction curves have been established
  • Error analysis
  • Error propagation (to final spectrum)
• Geometric efficiency
  • Efficiency curve for any positional cuts (shadow bars, bad bars, etc.)
• Detection efficiency
  • SCINFUL-QMD
  • Park's Geant4 consistent with SCINFUL-PHITS: Done, but compile the presentations into one
  • Bug fixed: Included (n, 3He) and (n, 4He) that were previously excluded
  • Light responses: Experimental v.s. Geant4
  • Why the 12C(n, d) peak is not as apparent as before?
• Event counting / normalization
  • Trigger condition
  • Random subtraction (due to high beam rate)
    • Take two batches of the same reaction but very different beam rates
• Miscellaneous
  • Crosstalk effect (%?)
  • Neutron wall A
