Satoshi Mihara ICEPP, Univ. of Tokyo Feb MEG Review Meeting 15 Background Condition Beam on/off –PMT output for  events changes, reduced to 70% of normal values Not due to bleeder current because we can see the effect even with lower PMT gain. Background events –most probably caused by beam- related neutrons, –Energy deposit up to 9-10MeV –Corresponding to 1.5x10 6 pe/sec cause this deterioration.
