GEBSort_nogeb

GEBSort_nogeb is the program that can analyze data from DGS, DFMA and GRETINA.

For DGS data, enable bin_dgs in the GEBSort.chat file. To find the PZ values to use, sort some data from a 207Bi source. Then extract the pz spectra in .spe format with this command

  .x get_pz.cc

Now run:

  dgs_pz 350 100 dgs_pz.cal

where 350 100 are the M and K values you find in the runxx.save file. Specify the values in 10 nsec units. In this case I saw these lines in the .save file:

 caput GLBL:DIG:d_window 0.06   
 caput GLBL:DIG:k_window 0.20     
 caput GLBL:DIG:m_window 3.50
 caput GLBL:DIG:k0_window 0.80
 caput GLBL:DIG:d3_window 0.20
 caput GLBL:DIG:raw_data_window 0.32
 caput VME01:SDIG1:k0_window0 0.0
 caput VME01:SDIG1:k0_window1 0.0
 etc

for the k value: sum up all the K values, in this case: 0.20+0.80 = 1.00 us or 100 in 10 nsec units. The M value is 3.50 us or 350 in 10 nsec units.

Notice that M is also in the bin_dgs.c code, so if you change the M value, you must first change it in the c code before following the instructions on this page.

Now sort again (resort) using the new pz values that were extracted above. When you resort, the PZ values in dgs_pz.cal are read in and used. Extract the new clean ehi spectra as

  .x get_ecln.cc

and run the calibration program

  dgs_ecal dgs_ehi.cal 207Bi

you can also use "88Y", "60Co" for the source. The calibration will be 1keV/ch. Next when you run GEBSort_nogeb, both the new PZ values in dgs_pz.cal and the gain and offset values in dgs_ehi.cal are read in and used.

The energy processing in bin_dgs follows algorithms that were developed by Shoufei Zhu.
