Latest approach to hit finding is as follows:

  1. Find a hit channel and filter events
    1. Calculate mean pedestal Pm & s.d. (σ) for first 100 samples in 100 events (trigger is approx sample 200)
    2. Set a threshold Pm + Tpm (Tpm ~ 3.5 σ) for further investigation, select events & channels where adc value exceeds this
  2. Calculate event pedestal
    1. Calculate event pedestal Pevt for current event & channel, as mean of 100 samples ending 10 samples before trigger time
  3. Use event pedestal to find high threshold time and new local pedestal
    1. Upsample data from samples 150 to 350 (max drift time + trigger time is approx sample 290)
    2. Select events where adc value goes over a high threshold Pevt + Tpe at point x (Tpe ~ 5sigma))
    3. Find a local pedestal Ploc as adc value at Np upsampled points (minisamples) before x (eg Np=15)
  4. Use local pedestal to find high and low threshold times
    1. Search forward from x-Np to find point x1 where data goes over a slightly less high threshold Ploc + Th where Th ~ 4 σ
    2. Search backward from x1 to find point x2 where data goes below low threshold Ploc + Tl where Tl ~ σ

Optimised thresholds and Np - best combination for this data (2100V, 50/50 Ar/CO2, prototype tilted at 25o to horizontal) is Th1 5sigma, Th = 4sigma, Tl = 1sigma and Np = 13 or 14 with dt=6ns.

RMS is least for Drift-time=Projection from Th through Tl to Ploc. Use this to look at data taken with prototype at different angles. All data above were with prototype at 25o to horizontal
