Re: Additional data
Hi Fernando,
I forgot to mention one more thing:
The "energy" spectra plotted under "Energy spectra" on the wiki:
I integrate over the signal starting when it is above pedestal and
stopping when the signal becomes smaller than < pedmean+5*sigma.
If you want I can change that definition.
Cheers,
Yves
