AGATAS002 and S003

Coincidence Scans

Overview

• Issues with MGS

• Experimental versus MGS

• S002 versus S003

• Ongoing work

• AGATA symmetric geometry

2mm Isolant No Isolant

• Passivation reduces surface currents

Some issues with MGS

Some issues with MGS• Potential mapping

2mm Isolant No Isolant

• Back region where all charges are collected

due to deformed potential surface

Some issues with MGS

• Electron drift velocity

2mm Isolant No Isolant

• Regions of unsaturated velocity

Some issues with MGS

• Electron drift – not a problem with

calculations but consequence of model

Some issues with MGS

• “Charge sharing”

Experimental versus MGS

• Sum of squares difference for experimental

and MGS data

Experimental versus MGS

• Is sum of squares difference a result of poor

time alignment

S002 Versus S003• Quantify detector twist

Conclusions

• MGS R5.02 is has been used to generate

latest data

• Two MGS data sets will be generated. The

S003 set will factor in twist.

• Basis sets have been partially generated to

produce 3D chi squared difference to see

where MGS fails

• Bart and Benedikt code will be used to find

best parameters.
