BSMD ADC saturation simulation

Updated on Mon, 2007-10-22 13:46. Originally created by kocolosk on 2007-09-24 15:03.

There's been quite some discussion about the saturation of the BSMD ADCs around 850.  We don't have this feature in the simulator, so here's my attempt to put it in.

Here's a plot of the ADC and energy distributions from the slow simulator in DEV without any reconfiguration.  This is the output of testSimulatorMaker.C using 1000 events from photon MC (photon_25_35_10.geant.root):

Note the sharp ADC peaks at 1023 for the SMDs and the PRS.  Now if I configure the simulator with the options (not yet in CVS)

emcSim->setMaximumAdc(kBarrelSmdEtaStripId, 850.0);
emcSim->setMaximumAdcSpread(kBarrelSmdEtaStripId, 15.0);

emcSim->setMaximumAdc(kBarrelSmdPhiStripId, 850.0);
emcSim->setMaximumAdcSpread(kBarrelSmdPhiStripId, 15.0);


Update

These changes were checked into CVS on October 08 2007
