Comparison of accuracy of pedestal calculation using Gauss fit & plain average of all data.
The plain average method is our current scheme for ZS for BPRS & BSMD for 2009 data taking.
Fig 2. TOP: RMS of the plain average, using 13K of fmsslow-triggered events which are reasonable surrogate of minBias data for BPRS.
Middle: sigma of pedestal fit using Gauss shape
Bottom: ratio of pedestals from this 2 method. The typical pedestal value is of 170 ADC. I could not make root to display the difference, sorry.
