Items for Discussion
- These rates seem incredibly high.
- Is the maximum number of hits coded into the simulation sufficient for the FDC? If it is applied at the event level, 100 hits is probably not enough.
- How relevant is the increased background as a function of downstream position of the package?
- Does this need to be considered when optimizing package placement?
- Should/Do the dead regions for each package vary in size depending on downstream location?
