The error on the drift time in the CDC. The drift times for the actual CDC hits coming from the input file are smeared by a gaussian with this sigma. 150.0/55.0*1E-9 seconds The time window for which CDC hits are accumulated. This is used to determine the number of background hits in the CDC for a given event. in nanoseconds The error in the energy deposition measurement in the CDC due to pedestal noise (in units of fC) number of sigmas above pedestal for cutting CDC hits CDC drit speed unit? thime window for two hit resolution in ns number of hit per radout channel threshold applied in KeV straw radius in cm
