9. TPC First data taken period -Noise in the detector crossing first level analysis, but cut in second level analysis. -Number of counts/window and tracking is a bit higher than 2004 Second data taken period - Noise problems solved after replacing a few preamplifiers. - Stability of the detector recovered - Number of counts/window stays higher than 2004. Third data taken period - Radon shielding improved - Number of counts/window and tracking agree with 2004 levels. Jaime Ruz Armendáriz Patras, May 22 nd, 2006

10. PRESSURE SETTING TAKEN 43/43 + 2 bonus ALL THE PRESSURE SETTING HAVE BEEN ANALIZED SUBSTRACTION OF BACKGROUND CONSISTENT FOR ALL PRESSURE SETTINGS NICE QUALITY OF DATA ≈ 20 counts/tracking/window Jaime Ruz Armendáriz Patras, May 22 nd, 2006 TPC

11. CCD First data taken period - All pressure setting measured and analyzed. Second data taken period - All pressure setting measured and analyzed Third data taken period - Six pressure setting missed - Data partially contaminated due to noise, although tracking periods seem to be clean Jaime Ruz Armendáriz Patras, May 22 nd, 2006

12. CCD NICE QUALITY OF DATA For the two first data taken periods ≈ 0.15 counts/tracking on the spot PRESSURE SETTING TAKEN 37/43 + 2 bonus NOISE OF THIRD DATA TAKEN PERIOD UNDER ANALYSIS Jaime Ruz Armendáriz Patras, May 22 nd, 2006

13. mM First data taken period - All pressure setting measured and analyzed. Second data taken period - All pressure setting measured and analyzed Third data taken period - Diverse problems in installation (see Igor´s talk). - Change to V5 prototype - Noise present at magnet full speed - All pressure setting measured and analyzed (maybe one missed? To be confirmed) Jaime Ruz Armendáriz Patras, May 22 nd, 2006
