Measured energy and best range selections

The energy returned for a Xtal is the geometric mean of the reconstructed energy for both sides of a Xtal. The energy from a + or - side can be reconstructed with either range 0 or range 1. this is the energy reconstructed from individual Xtals, where the different range selections show in different colors.

Range 0 is selected for low energy events including the muon peak. Around 100 MeV is a distribution of events where either range 0 or 1 is selected. Above 130 MeV range1 is selected for both ends.

Measured energy and ADC range 0

Here is the reconstructed energy vs ADC 0+ and this is the reconstructed energy vs ADC 0-. A few Xtals reconstruct energies below a MeV. A few pathological Xtals can be identified here:

  • layer 0 column 5  tower 8

This is the Xtal that shows the horizontal stripes between 500 and 600 ADC counts in the second plot. Both ADC0+ and ADC1+ show unusual distributions.

Removing those Xtals yields this plot for ADC 0+ - the twisters are gone. This list of xtals should probably be removed in these B30 runs in future analysis.
