3. 3 Current Status 63/4601 = 1.6% events have all 32 channels active, even the channels not connected to cells, looks like bad data but I have no explanation yet. –Could be PMT –Could be QDC –Could be triggering system generating extra long trigger

14. 14 Next Steps Track down source of 32 channel events Try to use dynode-12 signal from second PMT to create 4-way coincidence trigger or to replace one of the Paddles Still want to do more tests with Light Yield and S.P.E.
