Subject: RE: digi size for heavy ion events

Hi Mark,

I did this in my own goofy way... I wrote out the size of each digi in my userAlg, and then stuffed them into a histogram externally.

So I would say there were no criteria. I ran CrHeavyIon out of the box and turned off the noise with:

ToolSvc.GeneralNoiseTool.occupancy = 0.0;
ToolSvc.GeneralNoiseTool.sigma = 0.0;

After that, I just plotted the size of all the digi objects (including those zeros, which I haven't gotten to work on yet.)

Hi Leon,
Thanks!  This will be a big help.  I agree that "far and away" is not a good description here.  I'll compare these to Andrey's results.   What were the incident particles and trigger criteria (if any)?

Hi Mark,

I had a spare half-hour, so I kludged up something to histogram the number of digis per layer.

First thing is to turn off the noise occupancy, since this generates ~50 single hits per event, whether or not the particle even hits the detector.

After doing that, I get the distribution above. I'm a bit surprised to see digis with zero hits. I'll need to look into that!

This is with the default settings for the RC and CC buffer limits.

So although 1 hit and 2 hit layers are most favored, I wouldn't say "far and away"...
