Enable simulation of lone-hit in fax #708

Closed mcfatelin closed 6 years ago

mcfatelin commented 6 years ago

A technical issue happened with previous PR. This is a re-making of the PR.

This PR implements the lone-hits into waveform simulation. The lone hit rate can be configured either as a global rate for all PMT, or as a dictionary map with PMT ID as keys and rate as values.

Thanks, it is a good idea to add this. Some lone hits are already occurring in the noise sample we simulate on top of. As that sample is quite small, probably the few channels that have a lone hit in them effectively have a much increased lone hit rate, the rest has zero.

This would allow us to fix the channels that currently get no lone hits. For a full fix I guess we'd have to switch to a harmonic noise model that doesn't include itself make lone hits (like the one Olenka developed).
