<p class="MsoNormal">There is no reason to change from previous setting. Like Nilanga said, we should stick to the setting we had before.

<p class="MsoNormal">The new chamber need HV scan to know the optimal value (don’t assume that it is the same exactly than the other UV layers). You can start with 3653 and see what you get or do a HV scan. But keep I mind that we need to be careful regarding
increasing the HV before we really understand all the consequences in modifying HV divider.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If there is no clear reason, to go higher I would be very conservative. That is my default mode<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Kondo and Nilanga, <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">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 <a href="https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3930480">https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3930480</a>.
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?<o:p></o:p></p>
