==== Other notes ====
  * Temperature is somewhat between 20 to 30 degree
  * Local people go to beach already and you can too, please prepare the swim suit or the like
===== 3.Safety and equipment handling=====
==== General rules for safety ====
<color rgb(80%,0%,0%)/rgb(100%,80%,100%)> Safety is paramount in an experimental physics lab. By following these safety rules, you can help to ensure a safe and productive learning environment for everyone!</color>

  * Do NOT Eat, Smoke, apply Cosmetics inside, Drink at DESIGNATED places. (all liquid must be in CLOSED bottle). 
  * CLEAN up any spill immediately. 
  * Do NOT STORE things which can contaminate the lab (eg. food, sweet…)
  * Do NOT TAKE AWAY any equipment/book or ADD new ones without permission 
  * NO BARE foot, DRY indoor slipper only (avoiding the electronic shock).
  * Be RESPONSIBLE: 
    * If you find something unsafe, REPORT it to your instructor.
    * DISPOSE of all waste materials properly. 
    * REPORT all accidents and injuries to your instructor immediately. 
  * Use lab’s PC
    * Do NOT turn off the PC  
    * Do NOT install or remove package/software without permission. 
    * Turn OFF the PC display to save power when unused  
=== Electrical Hazards ===
  * REFRAIN from charging your phone/tablet and other electric devices inside of the lab.
  * Be AWARE of different types of electric currents (AC 220V, AC 110V, DC…). ALWAY check the equipment’s electric tolerant (eg. input is AC 110 or 220) before use it. 
  * CHECK carefully new circuit (either newly purchased or soldered ) with multimeter and TEST with low voltage before activate it with high voltage 
  * NEVER TOUCH live electrical equipment.To check the equipment/circuit, turn off the power. 
  * DO NOT use the devices which you are not familiar with 
  * Work with photodetector (PMT and siPM): 
    * It’s very sensitive, fragile, and expensive. Handle with much care. No bare hand touch on the active area of sensor. Only trained students can be used. 
    * Do NOT explore it to normal light when it is activated. The photosensor can be broken
    * Understand the photosensor specification and apply appropriate voltage

=== Mechanical hazards ===
  * DON’t touch or MOVE tables with experimental setup without consulting without permission 
  * Do not place your experimental setup near the edge of the table. 
  * Students must be trained to use
    * Soldering station
    * Drill machine 
  * Use protection goggles when using drill machine or soldering station 
  * Handle scintillator, wavelength shifting fibers, optical fibers with gloves. Do not explore them to UV light for long time. Do not bend too much. 




=== Laser and UV hazards ===
  * Be careful when using lasers. Never look directly into the beam of a laser.
  * Must notify others before using laser
  * Be careful with reflected light of the laser
  * Know the UV wavelength and be aware of its hazards. Do not shine UV light on your skin, you eyes  

===== 4. Reading materials =====
**Most of the books are available at ICISE**. <color /#FFff00>Feel free to read but DO NOT Take out of the lab without permission</color> 
  * MPPC technical note [[https://ifirse.icise.vn/nugroup/docs/hardware/mppc_kapd9005e-4.pdf]]
  * “Techniques for Nuclear and Particle Physics Experiments: A How-to Approach”, W. R. Leo [[https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-642-57920-2]]

  * Statistics for Nuclear and Particle Physicists, Louis Lyons
===== 5. Software preparation =====
<color /#FFff00>If you have already known, it's great. If not, try to install before coming to the hardware camp</color>
