Does direct detection use the proper DOM region? #109

Open fiedl opened 6 years ago

fiedl commented 6 years ago

Or are there geometrical issues that cause the DOM to accept the wrong photons?

I'm simulating locally with --save-photon-paths --save-only-detected.

The first image made me nervous. But apparently, all DOM intersections are recorded here, regardless of whether the DOM has accepted the hit, I guess. Otherwise, there wouldn't be hits from above, right?
