the DAQ is fixed by switching the USB cable to another port
the detector will collect more than two weeks of background data
an amplifier that doesn't modify the pulse shape is used to reduce random noise events
start new measurements with the Am-Be source
check the pulse shape of different particles and look at the detector's capabilities for particle identification
a new scintillator LaBr (5cm*5cm) is available (finding an optimal PMT for photons at around 300 nm), possibly used in a new geometry for gagg detector
