Projections of the pedestal noise in sum and difference of two channel on one chip
Rudi Ganz  Oct 28th 1997
 
 
These are projection for the telescope detector 1 VA chip number 3 out of Runnumber 100 from the 97 testbeam data.
(pedestal events only !) For each event the ADC values of one channel is combined with all the other channels. These combination are done for all channels in one VA chip. The projections show the distribution of A) the sum of both ADC values and B) the difference between two ADC values (after subtraction of the pedestal value)

 The difference in the width tell that there might be common noise involved but only very small fraction of the total width comes from it.
 
 
 Here are the same for some WA98 chips:
 
WA98 segment 1 chip 2 Sum
WA98 segment 1 chip 2 Difference
WA98 segment 1 chip 4 Sum
WA98 segment 1 chip 4 Difference
