Data archive for 7-GridPix 'Septemboard' detector taken at CAST (2017/18)

<h1>Data archive for 7-GridPix 'Septemboard' CAST detector</h1> <p>This data archive contains datasets related to the 7-GridPix<br>'Septemboard' detector used at the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST)<br>experiment in 2017/18.</p> <p>This archive assumes familiarity with the operation of the Septemboard<br>detector at CAST and the PhD thesis it was used in. Once the thesis is<br>published, I will update the Zenodo meta data to include a link to the<br>thesis. For the time being see</p> <p><a href="https://phd.vindaar.de" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://phd.vindaar.de</a></p> <p>The archive is split into three different files. For each file an<br>explanation follows below.</p> <p>- <code>raw_data_gridpix_CAST_2017_18.tar</code> :: A single TAR ball of the entire raw<br>&nbsp; data recorded at CAST (and related).<br>- <code>reco_data_gridpix_CAST_2017_18.tar</code> :: A single TAR ball of the<br>&nbsp; entire reconstructed data computed from the raw data.<br>- <code>miscResourcesArchive.tar.gz</code> :: A single gzipped TAR ball of a large<br>&nbsp; number of miscellaneous files.&nbsp;</p> <p>As the latter two archives contain a large number of files, a<br><code>*_list_of_files.txt</code> file is provided, which contains a <code>tree</code> view<br>of the entire TAR ball.</p> <h2><code>raw_data_gridpix_CAST_2017_18.tar</code> - Raw data archive</h2> <p>This file contains all raw data recorded with the aforementioned<br>detector. Raw data means it is the data produced by the <a href="https://github.com/Vindaar/TOS" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Timepix Operating Software (TOS).</a></p> <p>The archive is a single TAR ball, which contains multiple<br>directories. They are split by the date in which they were taken and<br>their purpose.</p> <p>The directory structure is as follows:<br><code>├── 2017</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; ├── CalibrationRuns</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; ├── DataRuns</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; ├── XrayFingerRuns</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; └── development</code><br><code>├── 2018</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; ├── CalibrationRuns</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; ├── DataRuns</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; ├── FADC_100ns_50ns_comparisons</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; │ &nbsp; ├── 100ns</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; │ &nbsp; └── 50ns</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; └── XrayFingerRuns</code><br><code>├── 2018_2</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; ├── BadRuns</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; ├── CalibrationRuns</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; └── DataRuns</code><br><code>└── CDL_2019</code></p> <p><code>- 2017 :: Contains 'Run-2' data taken in 2017.</code><br><code>&nbsp; - CalibrationRuns: 55Fe runs from CAST</code><br><code>&nbsp; - DataRuns: Background runs from CAST (contains solar tracking data)</code><br><code>&nbsp; - XrayFingerRuns: Single X-ray finger run from before data taking,</code><br><code>&nbsp; &nbsp; not directly useful.</code><br><code>&nbsp; - development: Contains runs from development in 2017, in particular</code><br><code>&nbsp; &nbsp; the two runs showing excessive sparking from before the water</code><br><code>&nbsp; &nbsp; cooling was installed.</code><br><code>- 2018 :: Contains 'Run-2' data taken in 2018 (up to Apr 2018).</code><br><code>&nbsp; - CalibrationRuns: 55Fe runs from CAST</code><br><code>&nbsp; - DataRuns: Background runs from CAST (contains solar tracking data)</code><br><code>&nbsp; - XrayFingerRuns: Single X-ray finger run, taken after Run-2 data taking.</code><br><code>&nbsp; &nbsp; Useful.</code><br><code>&nbsp; - FADC: Contains laboratory runs with the detector mounted</code><br><code>&nbsp; &nbsp; pointing towards the zenith.

The<br>reconstruction of the data is done via the tools part of <a href="https://github.com/Vindaar/TimepixAnalysis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TimepixAnalysis.</a></p> <p>It is a single TAR ball, which contains multiple directories. They are<br>split by the type of data mainly. The main data files are those named<br><code>Calibration/DataRuns_2017/8_Raw/Reco.h5</code> as well as the similarly<br>named&nbsp;<code>CDL</code> files. The naming follows that of the raw data archive. See below the directory structure for more details.</p> <p>The directory structure is as follows:<br><br><code>├── CDL_2019</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; ├── CDL_2019_Raw.h5</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; ├── CDL_2019_Reco.h5</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; └── calibration-cdl-2018.h5</code><br><code>├── CalibrationRuns2017_Raw.h5</code><br><code>├── CalibrationRuns2017_Reco.h5</code><br><code>├── CalibrationRuns2018_Raw.h5</code><br><code>├── CalibrationRuns2018_Reco.h5</code><br><code>├── DataRuns2017_Raw.h5</code><br><code>├── DataRuns2017_Reco.h5</code><br><code>├── DataRuns2018_Raw.h5</code><br><code>├── DataRuns2018_Reco.h5</code><br><code>├── FakeData</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; ├── fakeData_500k_0_to_3keV_decrease.h5</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; └── fakeData_500k_uniform_energy_0_10_keV.h5</code><br><code>├── lhoodOutput</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; ├── lhood_lnL_17_11_23_septem_fixed</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; │ &nbsp; ├── lhood_c18_R2_crAll_sEff_0.7_lnL.h5</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; │ &nbsp; ├── lhood_c18_R2_crAll_sEff_0.7_lnL.log</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; │ &nbsp; ├── .... similar other files</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; └── lhood_mlp_17_11_23_adam_tanh30_sigmoid_mse_82k</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ├── lhood_c18_R2_crAll_sEff_0.85_mlp_mlp_tanh_sigmoid_MSE_Adam_30_2checkpoint_epoch_82000_loss_0.0249_acc_0.9662.h5</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ├── lhood_c18_R2_crAll_sEff_0.85_mlp_mlp_tanh_sigmoid_MSE_Adam_30_2checkpoint_epoch_82000_loss_0.0249_acc_0.9662.log</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ├── .... similar other files</code><br><code>├── limitOutput</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; ├── lhood_limits_21_11_23</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; │ &nbsp; ├── lhood_c18_R2_crAll_sEff_0.85_scinti_fadc_line_mlp_mlp_tanh_sigmoid_MSE_Adam_30_2checkpoint_epoch_82000_loss_0.0249_acc_0.9662_vQ_0.99</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; │ &nbsp; │ &nbsp; ├── mc_limit_lkMCMC_skInterpBackground_nmc_15000_uncertainty_ukUncertain_&sigma;s_0.0281_&sigma;b_0.0028_posUncertain_puUncertain_&sigma;p_0.0500.csv</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; │ &nbsp; │ &nbsp; ├── .... similar other files</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; │ &nbsp; ├── lhood_c18_R2_crAll_sEff_0.85_scinti_fadc_septem_line_mlp_mlp_tanh_sigmoid_MSE_Adam_30_2checkpoint_epoch_82000_loss_0.0249_acc_0.9662_vQ_0.99</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; │ &nbsp; │ &nbsp; ├── mc_limit_lkMCMC_skInterpBackground_nmc_2500_uncertainty_ukUncertain_&sigma;s_0.0281_&sigma;b_0.0028_posUncertain_puUncertain_&sigma;p_0.0500.csv</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; │ &nbsp; │ &nbsp; ├── .... similar other files</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; │ &nbsp; ├── lhood_c18_R2_crAll_sEff_0.85_scinti_fadc_septem_mlp_mlp_tanh_sigmoid_MSE_Adam_30_2checkpoint_epoch_82000_loss_0.0249_acc_0.9662_vQ_0.99</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; │ &nbsp; │ &nbsp; ├── .... more files</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; │ &nbsp; ├── Similar directories</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; ├── lhood_limits_axion_photon_11_01_24</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; │ &nbsp; │ &nbsp; ├── .... more files</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; └── lhood_limits_chameleon_12_01_24</code><br><code>│ &nbsp; │ &nbsp; │ &nbsp; ├── .... more files</code><br><code>28 directories, 249 files</code></p> <p><code>- Root of the archive ::</code><br><code>&nbsp; - ~CalibrationRuns2017/18_Raw~: Raw data files of the 55Fe calibration</code><br><code>&nbsp; &nbsp; runs taken during the CAST data taking.</code><br><code>&nbsp; - ~CalibrationRuns2017/18_Reco~: Fully reconstructed data of the</code><br><code>&nbsp; &nbsp; same.</code><br><code>&nbsp; - ~Data*~: Same schema for the actual CAST data, containing both</code><br><code>&nbsp; &nbsp; background and solar tracking data.</code><br><code>- ~FakeData~ :: A directory of two HDF5 files containing synthetic X-ray</code><br><code>&nbsp; data used for the training of MLPs as classifiers.</code><br><code>- ~lhoodOutput~ :: A directory containing a large number of files</code><br><code>&nbsp; containing the output files of the ~likelihood~ program part of</code><br><code>&nbsp; ~TimepixAnalysis~.

Note that the<br>vast majority of these files is likely not of significant interest,<br>unless someone wishes to understand certain studies that were done. If<br>however, someone reads one of these files and wishes to look into any<br>of the referenced data files, I prefer to make them available.</p> <p>One particular set of interesting data is contained in the<br><code>MLP_snapshots</code> directory. It contains all snapshots of every MLP I<br>ever trained during the work on my thesis. This includes the best<br>performing MLP I eventually used for the results in my thesis.</p> <p>The other two directories contained are&nbsp;<code>phdResources</code>&nbsp;and<br><code>orgResources</code>. They are named such as they represent a <code>resources</code><br>directory part of my <code>phd</code> git repository and my <code>org</code>&nbsp;git repository<br>(the latter is a repository for miscellaneous notes and things).&nbsp;</p> <p>See the file&nbsp;<code>miscDataArchive_list_of_files.txt</code>&nbsp;for a<br>list of all files contained.</p>
