CASCADES - Update - February 11, 2005

Rob has gone through the detector vac check data files in detail. Though the HEs are noisy, he can verify the presence of the beam at all roll angles for all three detectors. HI and the Bagel were also verified over the weekend. Kevin has looked in detail at the noise on the mag cal data on one of the three boxes (all three look very similar on the strip chart data). For the one that he looked at in detail, much of the noise appears to be digital pickup that is exactly the same on all three channels and is fairly easily removed. This brings our noise levels back into reasonable levels.

So: we are packing up!

The hope is to ship Fedex by Friday evening for a Monday arrival in Fairbanks.
