I think we should have a little discussion about this, so I'll wait for the others to comment. An I would like to analyse the full file. And maybe look into a large shower.
Here is a histogram of the saturatedSlicesPercentage
for a single run with 27s events (only events where saturatedSlicesPercentage
> 0. All Events below 0.2 (maximum is 0.006) look like bright showers, all above look like 27s events.
This implements skipping of the 27s events in the standard analysis and photonstream extraction xmls.
While I did the implementation I looked into the file
20151218_161
, as this has a lot of 27s early in the file (first isEventNum
12).I noticed that these events take considerably longer to analyse than even events with large showers, in the order of multiple seconds, so I went for skipping them early instead of flagging them.
The typical 27s second event in that file had round about 60 % saturated slices. I put the skip threshold to 40 %. I think this is quite save as even if a physics shower could produce 40 % saturation it 1. would be not reliable to reconstruct and 2. be very likely a hadron event.
