1.) Simulation: Checked in latest Qweak.euclid file into CVS.


3.) Readout:
Order trigger electronics for GEM (R. Bellazzini, NIM A478, 2002 pg 13-15), A203 pre-amp and pulse shaper which is fed into AMPTEK's A206 voltage amplifier and low level discriminator.

Now have a 16 channel TTL-LVDS converter in hand ($200) which appears to work. We need build proper cables/adapters to connect it to the Helix board.


5.) Test Apparatus
Buildings and Grounds finally reduced my power line noise from 1/2 volt to less than 2mV so now I can document the GEM signal.
GEM signal from Cosmics
Added scintillator paddle below GEM detector.
looked at coincidence between scintillator and GEM
