[Sbs_gems] [EXTERNAL] UV GEM HV Settings

[Andrew Puckett]

Okay, so then what are the recommended settings for ALL UVA layers/modules? I’m confused. Because we have been running with a mix of 3653 and 3697

HI Sean,

No, I think it would be best to run at 3653 V  with this modified divider for right now.

We are going to study the modified divider with the  x_ray source here over the new couple of weeks. Once we know more, we can consider going higher if needed

Best

Hi Kondo and Nilanga,

After we changed the resistor on UV GEM layer 0 back in October Kondo recommended to lower the HV a bit to monitor the GEM HV. Here is the logbook reference https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3930480. However we discovered this week that the voltage has never been returned to 3697 V since then, and we ran all this week at 3653 V. From Kondo's log it is my impression that he meant to only set it to 3653 V for a few hours. Is it ok to change to 3697 V at this point? Also with the two other UV GEMs in BB we also have these new dividers. Then ran all night at 3653 V with cosmics with no issues. Can we set those to 3697 V as well?

Best,
Sean
