electron drift velocity dead wire radius other dead wire radius threshold in keV threshold in fC electron charge in fC diffiusion speed cm^2/s --> 200 microns at 1 cm The error on the drift time in the FDC. The drift times for the actual FDC hits coming from the input file are smeared by a gaussian with this sigma. 200.0/55.0*1.0E-9; # in seconds The error in the distance along the wire as measured by the cathodes. This should NOT include the Lorentz effect which is already included in hdgeant. It should include any fluctuations due to ion trail density etc. 150.0 microns [microns] FDC_CATHODE_SIGMA 50.0 number of sigmas above pedestal for cutting FDC hits The FDC pedestal noise is used to smear the cathode ADC values such that the position along the wire has the resolution specified by FDC_CATHODE_SIGMA. units in pC (calculated from FDC_CATHODE_SIGMA in SmearFDC) FDC_PED_NOISE 1.527 Time window for acceptance of FDC hits units in nanoseconds Fraction of FDC hits to randomly drop (0=drop nothing 1=drop everything)
