Event pics

These data (run 32488) were recorded using a filter in the event readout list, so only channels with 6 consecutive samples exceeding a threshold of 116 were recorded, provided that 5 channels had 8 consecutive samples over 124. (pedestal ~ 60, #sigma ~ 16)

Channels with a hit before a zero-crossing in ch 71 in the same event
Channels with a hit before another channel with a zero-crossing in the same event
As left, zoomed in
Amplitude of hit channels where hit precedes zero-crossing in another channel

Compare resolution with channels 68 (on noisy board E4) and 148 (similar position on different board E14)

Resolution ch 68
Resolution ch 148

Looking to see if zero-crossings are linked to hits in other channels. Zero-crossing time is the sample number when the adc content drops to 0 - pedestal is not subtracted. Pedestals are set to approx 60, with pedestal width ~ 16.

Run 32488 channels in use
Channels with hit < 10 samples before zero-crossing in another channel
Channels with tracked hit < 10 samples before zero-crossing in another channel


Run 32495 channels in use
Channels with hit < 10 samples before zero-crossing in another channel
Channels with tracked hit < 10 samples before zero-crossing in another channel. Red spot = hit in 69, zero xing in 67.

Switched HVBs 3 and 5 (first is at top, increase top to bottom, L to R)

Channels with hit < 10 samples before zero-crossing in another channel
Channels with tracked hit < 10 samples before zero-crossing in another channel.

Dip time in 1 channel vs every other dip time in the same event

Changed search start time to sample 90.
