Add noise hits from SIPM? #13

Open clarenc3 opened 2 years ago

clarenc3 commented 2 years ago

Tom estimates noise hits from the SiPMs to contribute about 80 hits per event at random scintillator bars, see https://indico.fnal.gov/event/54039/contributions/238814/attachments/153845/199755/2022-04-06%20TMS%20Meeting.pdf

Should be pretty easy to add extra hits to events. Would be interesting to see how far we can push the 80 hits per event upwards until it becomes a real problem. For instance, what if we have 200 hits per event; is that a problem?

Will have to check the energy distribution of these random hits. Will for now assume it's above threshold which seems maximally conservative
