+ | ===== Efficiency of OBJ Scintillator ===== | ||
+ | At relatively high rates (~0.5 MHz), the OBJ scintillator will be gradually damaged. Experimenters should check the efficiency of this detector continuously during the course of the experiment. Whenever the rates drop below ~90%, they may request the Device/Beam Physicist to shim the detector. | ||
+ | Before shimming, make sure that the thresholds are set properly (not too high). | ||
