Initial Noise msmt at FNAL with new board•MASDA noise best case expected 330 e-
•15 Channels with reduced noise after fixes.•4 @ 390e-
•6 @ 420e-
•3 @ 450e-
•2 @ 480e-
•Reminder: This is an interim solution, a properly matched front end should get ~250e- according to Tom Zimmerman

Noise testing parameters
• Maximum bandwidth setting
• 21mV/fC gain 300e-/mV
• 1mV=1ADC count
• Integration Time (SAFT-SBEF) = 2s

Issues …
• Cooler plate must not be left floating – Electrically connect to
board

Future Plans
• Measure noise with powered APD
• Measure noise with APD vs. Temperature • Gain measurement with Temperature
• Measure noise as a function of Tint
• Measure LED generated signal
• Measure signal from scintillator with trigger
• …
