First Light - LISA detector spectra from Westmont College

At Westmont College we've recently complete assembly of our first LISA detector. Pictured below are cosmic muon energy spectra for each PMT, the position spectrum corresponding to the distribution of muons passing through the bar as a function of length, and one of the two detector ends. The position spectrum gate, calculated from the light arrival time difference between the two PMTs, consisted of the AND signal between the two muon peaks.




On another LISA related front, Lewis Elliott and Phil Kasavan are pictured working on the inverter box front panels.
