Results of the N20 analysis

Here's the N20 analysis plan for the test run

NEW Here's a totally confusing array of numbers representing the rates for all the runs along with the run details like target, current, total number of events, etc. I'm currently formatting it to make it more readable!

Rates for run numbers:

Next, to compare the rates and check if they scale with luminosity. Also compare these results with the simulations.

See here for the simulations. For the N20 test run, we detect all the recoiling particles, so we need to add the events for the neutron, proton, pions, photon, etc. Also, we need to scale the rates by the luminosity of our target and the detector solid angle. Another point to note is that these simulations do not consider shielding, and so will differ from the actual data.

Note that these TDC rates match with the scaler rates to within 20%. The agreement can be made better if we consider hits other than the 1st one only, as was done in the above case.
