SHMS

Heavy Gas Cherenkov

  • Ryan showed some slides regarding the HGC NPE spectra
    • The HGC is performing below expected in regards to light collection
    • The NPE spectra are systematically smaller than expected than what is observed in simulation
    • Double bands present in the NPE vs. track intersection at the mirror planes indicate some misunderstandings,
      • The suggestion moving forward is that the z-axis needs to filled with the average of NPE instead of the raw sum
