Combo Release V00-00-00

  • Modified Laputop so that it uses the X/Y/Z coordinates of the Tank that was hit using StationGeo information, instead of the coordinates of the DOM inside the tank, like 61 or 63, which is off to one side. Previous functionality can be restored using the “OldXYZ” option, which is default False. “LaputopStandard” traysegment, used by L3 processing, has this set to True, so as to reproduce previous L3 results.

April 30, 2013 Emanuel Jacobi (emanuel.jacobi@desy.de)

Release V03-00-04

  • ShowerCOG did not pulses above 3000 VEM, due to an OLD feature in SortOutBadCharges from TTopRecoShower.

    However this is not desired behaviour and made NaN COGs for HUGE, very interesting events. For COG we want to use all pulses! In the Laputop methods there is a special treatment for saturation already. This might however break old toprec behaviour a little bit, because those also relied on SortOutBadCharges to “remove” the saturated pulses, which will now NOT be done anymore.

    This is no problem as we should deprecate the old toprec lateralfit as it has proven the behaviour can be reproduced (and is improved) with laputop.

    – Tom Feusels
