-===== Handling detectors =====+===== 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) (refer to section "Object Scintillator Setup during [[Tuning the S800 (XDT)#Object scintillator setup|XDT]]"

 +==== Shimming OBJ scintillator ====
 Shimming of the OBJ scintillator (or replacement) is required when the efficiency (measured by the experimenters) drops to about 85%. Please, refer to the operations [[https://docmgmt.nscl.msu.edu/share/page/site/NSCL/document-details?nodeRef=workspace://SpacesStore/cad088ca-6d41-4025-b010-8e620806a48b|guideline]] describing the procedure. Shimming of the OBJ scintillator (or replacement) is required when the efficiency (measured by the experimenters) drops to about 85%.
