Dear Flemming, Concerning the last runs I got a following results: run 5266, Th=3.2, HV=HVnom+20, T3: 59% +- 3% T4: 96% +- 6% T5: 89% +- 5% run 5276, Th=3.2,HV=HVnom+20, T3: 17% +-1% T4: 97% +-6% T5: 87% +-5% run 5274, Th=3.2,HV=HVnom+20, T3: 19% T4: 95% T5: 90% The errors are only a statistical. For runs 5266 and 5276 I run through about 150k events and for run 5274 only through 100k (errors are larger). run 5264, Th=3.5, HV=HVnom, T3: 35% T4: 96% T5: 48% Conclusions: T5: It looks like at Th=3.2 and HV = HVnom+20 T5 has an efficiency slightly below 90%. There is large increase observe as compare to Th=3.5 and HV=HVnom (by 40%) but we still have to improve the efficiency. Keeping also in mind a currents values from run (5265 HV=HVnom+20) I would suggest to set HV to: all X and U views to HVnom+30, all Y views HVnom+25 all V views HVnom+20, and Th=3.0V. T4: It looks like we are already in the plateau region. The settings HV=HVnom and Th=3.5 seems to be OK, but I would suggest to make a very minor correction, namely: all X and U views HVnom+5 all Y views HVnom all V views HVnom and Th=3.4V-3.5V T3: I don't know what's happened with T3 efficiency for runs 5274 and 5276 (~20%) it was much larger for 5266(~60%) at the same settings?, but any way, I think that we should make a look at T3 at settings: A1: 1180 A2: 1180 A3: 1180, A threshold should be set as low as possible that means: slights above a value when lots of extra hits start coming into the spectra. In case of the T3 we measure a signal width (some how related to a signal ADC), so we have a possibility to set a software threshold on the data proceeding level (like for TPC or Tof). I have also efficiencies for T1 and T2 which are 92% and 96%-97%, respectively.
