BigBite Scintillation Plane Calibration et cetera #22
In order to be able to find the matrix elements for the TgDelta
variable, we decided first to calibrate ADCs and TDCs in the E and dE planes. This will allow us to apply additional cuts and precisely select events that will then be used for the final calibration of the
TgY.
I am still calibrating ADC spectra for BigBite E and dE detectors. I have already gain matched PMTs on each paddle, but still trying to understand the y-dependence of ADC signals in the dE-plane. Here are my notes and some of the results:

Old results:
Paddle No:5 (good one)
Paddle No:7 (bad one)
Paddle No:20 (very bad one)

New results:
Paddle No:5
Paddle No:7
Paddle No:20
