Add time dependence to ADC

[gchar]

Hello,

For the Micromegas (BMT, FMT, FTM) as well as the RTPC we would need to be able to fill multiple ADC as a function of the time for each event. At the END of one event, we would integrate the signal left by all the hits that left a signal on one strip. In other words:

Event 42:
Hit 1: would leave on pad N ADC_1(t)
Hit 2: pad N, ADC_2(t)
Hit 3: pad N, ADC_3(t)
...

And at the end of the event, pad N would see sum(pad N, ADC_X(t))

Where t and N are of course adjustable parameters. I suppose I can take care of the sum part in hitprocess but I need to be able to output ADC(t) for each hit with the shape function of my choice.

This step is very important for us to evaluate precisely occupancy, resolutions, fitting procedures...

Thank you!

Hello,

Because we are not able to store a pulse in hipo or evio file other than the raw file, it takes much more time to understand the detector performances and also prevent us from optimizing the pulse analysis which is a key-parameter for the tracking.

Considering the small amount of time left before engineering and physics run, it would be time to have this feature for hipo and evio files.

Thank you very much for your understanding of the situation,
