Goal
• Analyze SCD data taken from Goddard thermal vacuum test• Determine the amount of the SCD output changes due to a
change in temperature• This analysis will later be used to help determine how often
to take the pedestal run

Relevant Parameters
• SCD– SCD1
• Temperature– SCD Ladder Temperature– Refers to ladder 7 unless otherwise
stated
• Input– SCD has 24 ladders of channels with
its own temperature– Within a ladder groups of 16
channels share similar response patterns
– Total 2640 active channels out of a possible 2944 channels
– 2192 with working temperature sensors
• Output– SCD mean pedestal value for each
channel

Results of Group 1 Fits
• Slope– Mean: 18.6 ADC Counts /ºC– Standard Deviation: 0.3 ADC
Counts /ºC
• Intercept– Mean: 5089.6 ADC Counts – Standard Deviation: 60.5
ADC Counts
• Conclusion: – Groups of channels
characterize an SCD region’s response to temperature shifts
– Output of channels within a group may differ

Histogram of Slopes

Mean: 17.1 ADC Counts/ºCStandard Deviation: 15.0 ADC Counts/ºC
12
Outliers
• All but 9 channels had slopes between 0 and 35 ADC Counts/ºC
• Most of these outliers appeared within this range expect for a large spike in one of the data points – Spike typically appeared
in coldest measurement

Mean: 16.9 ADC Counts/ºCStandard Deviation: 2.6 ADC Counts/ºC

Results
• Temperature has a significant effect on SCD output– 16.9 ADC Counts/ºC on average (excluding outliers)
• Effect appears linear in nature• Affects different regions of SCD differently• Groups of 16 consecutive channels display very
similar responses to temperature shifts

Shortcomings
• Incomplete mapping of SCD channel location– Temperature used may not always be accurate
• Unable to analyze raw pedestal data output– Cannot independently verify means or determine
uncertainty
• Cause of outliers unknown

Future Items
• Transient analysis of temperature change in SCD– Typical timescale for temperature shift
• Determine how much of a temperature shift significantly affects our data collection
• Decide how often to run pedestal measurements
