The D150 Detector Repair Class follows an agenda which integrates lecture and student exercises. Topics include:
- Detector trouble shooting
- Preamplifier adjustments and repair
- Vacuum pumping and annealing
- Cooling maintenance (LN2, Mechanical)
Taking place over 3 days, this course combines classroom discussions with hands-on experience to provide guidance on what causes and how to remedy poor energy resolution, distorted peaks, missing signal, and drifting peaks. The training covers the requirements of a typical hardware/software configuration and then moves into how each component can affect the detector system. The course is instructor-led with sufficient time for lab exercises with actual instrumentation used in a typical detector system.
