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> data recorded at CAST (and related).<br>- <code>reco_data_gridpix_CAST_2017_18.tar</code> :: A single TAR ball of the<br> entire reconstructed data computed from the raw data.<br>- <code>miscResourcesArchive.tar.gz</code> :: A single gzipped TAR ball of a large<br> number of miscellaneous files. </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>│ ├── CalibrationRuns</code><br><code>│ ├── DataRuns</code><br><code>│ ├── XrayFingerRuns</code><br><code>│ └── development</code><br><code>├── 2018</code><br><code>│ ├── CalibrationRuns</code><br><code>│ ├── DataRuns</code><br><code>│ ├── FADC_100ns_50ns_comparisons</code><br><code>│ │ ├── 100ns</code><br><code>│ │ └── 50ns</code><br><code>│ └── XrayFingerRuns</code><br><code>├── 2018_2</code><br><code>│ ├── BadRuns</code><br><code>│ ├── CalibrationRuns</code><br><code>│ └── DataRuns</code><br><code>└── CDL_2019</code></p> <p><code>- 2017 :: Contains 'Run-2' data taken in 2017.</code><br><code> - CalibrationRuns: 55Fe runs from CAST</code><br><code> - DataRuns: Background runs from CAST (contains solar tracking data)</code><br><code> - XrayFingerRuns: Single X-ray finger run from before data taking,</code><br><code> not directly useful.</code><br><code> - development: Contains runs from development in 2017, in particular</code><br><code> the two runs showing excessive sparking from before the water</code><br><code> cooling was installed.</code><br><code>- 2018 :: Contains 'Run-2' data taken in 2018 (up to Apr 2018).</code><br><code> - CalibrationRuns: 55Fe runs from CAST</code><br><code> - DataRuns: Background runs from CAST (contains solar tracking data)</code><br><code> - XrayFingerRuns: Single X-ray finger run, taken after Run-2 data taking.</code><br><code> Useful.</code><br><code> - FADC: Contains laboratory runs with the detector mounted</code><br><code> 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 <code>CDL</code> files. The naming follows that of the raw data archive.

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.
