[Olympus] Internal note on SYMB comparator saturation

Dear Colleagues,

I just uploaded an internal note to the OLYMPUS wiki:

https://olympus-docu.hiskp.uni-bonn.de/dokuwiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=internalnotes:sm-000.pdf

This note presents a new hypothesis about why some of the SYMB signal peaks are missing large fractions of the counts we expect. We think it’s possible that the comparators used in evaluating the local maximum veto were becoming saturated, causing good events to get vetoed.

Let’s make this a topic of discussion at our next monthly meeting.

Best regards,
Axel
