A2: 840k, A3: 1080k - Injection volume of each decade is following `previous analysis `_ - Each simulation set is tuned to follow each configuration in data sample section Noise - 1 mil. noise events per configuration - Recreating thermal noise event based on in-situ signal chain gain model and random distribution .. _fig-sim_hist4: .. figure:: ../../figures/sim_hist44.png :align: center sim summary plots Signal generation supplement Simulation is set to stop based on number of ‘triggered’ event - It will continue to throw event until it gets desired number of ‘triggered’ event - Thats why it has different thrown per decade and flavors, but similar number of triggered event Simulation was run in E^-1 for each decade - If It runs in E^-1 for all energy range at once, I will get only few low energy event - Thats why triggered events have discontinuing shape, but I get decent amount of low energy event Estd shape means estimated shape of thrown events. - (Unfortunately) Sim didn’t save the energy of all thrown event. It only saved number of thrown events. So, I estimated E^-1 shape based on number of thrown events .. _fig-sim_hist4_0: .. figure:: ../../figures/sim_hist44_0.png :align: center A2 sim RZ plot in each energy decade and radius .. _fig-sim_hist4_1: .. figure:: ../../figures/sim_hist44_1.png :align: center A3 sim RZ plot in each energy decade and radius -------------------- Effective Area Check -------------------- .. _fig-sim_hist5: .. figure:: ../../figures/sim_hist5.png :align: center A23 effective area in trigger level Effective area by triggered event Based on new gain and threshold value, low energy has an improvement compare to previous analysis’s Aeff A2 config 7 and A3 config 8 / 9 have lower area based on less # of trigger antenna at the time period
