Short Description

correct_nsb_spectrum_to_telescope_altitude

1.0.0

atm_trans_2200_1_3_0_0_0.dat

Correct the night-sky background spectrum to the telescope altitude from the altitude where the Benn & Ellison spectrum was measured. The correction is done within sim_telarray and is based on the atmospheric transmission to 2200 m a.s.l (atm_trans_2200_1_3_0_0_0.dat).

iobuf_maximum

1.0.0

1000000000 byte

Buffer limits for input and output of eventio data.

iobuf_output_maximum

1.0.0

400000000 byte

The maximum size of the I/O buffer for output data, including raw data for all telescopes.

min_photoelectrons

1.0.0

25

Minimum number of detected photoelectrons required before running electronics simulation.

min_photons

1.0.0

300

Minimum number of photons required before doing simulation.

random_generator

1.0.0

mt19937

Random generator used.

sampled_output

1.0.0

True

Select a specific output format (if several available). A value of 0 means to write ADC sums, a value of 1 to write ADC samples.

save_pe_with_amplitude

1.0.0

True

True if photo-electron data is to be stored with the resulting amplitudes (in mean-p.e. units) in addition to the arrival times. Storing of photo-electron data should be activated separately (see save_photons (bit 1) and store_photoelectrons parameters) but non-zero values of this parameter will also activate save_photons bit 1. Storing p.e. in internal calibration events is controlled separately by save_calibration_pe.

store_photoelectrons

1.0.0

20

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

tailcut_scale

1.0.0

2.6

The special scheme for selecting pixels belonging to a shower image as implemented in sim_telarray (as opposed to the traditional two-level tailcut scheme) has multiple thresholds for the various levels of confidence that a pixel actually belongs to the shower image. Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.

Short Description

correct_nsb_spectrum_to_telescope_altitude

1.0.0

atm_trans_2200_1_3_0_0_0.dat

Correct the night-sky background spectrum to the telescope altitude from the altitude where the Benn & Ellison spectrum was measured. The correction is done within sim_telarray and is based on the atmospheric transmission to 2200 m a.s.l (atm_trans_2200_1_3_0_0_0.dat).

iobuf_maximum

1.0.0

1000000000 byte

Buffer limits for input and output of eventio data.

iobuf_output_maximum

1.0.0

400000000 byte

The maximum size of the I/O buffer for output data, including raw data for all telescopes.

min_photoelectrons

1.0.0

30

Minimum number of detected photoelectrons required before running electronics simulation.

min_photons

1.0.0

450

Minimum number of photons required before doing simulation.

random_generator

1.0.0

mt19937

Random generator used.

sampled_output

1.0.0

True

Select a specific output format (if several available). A value of 0 means to write ADC sums, a value of 1 to write ADC samples.

save_pe_with_amplitude

1.0.0

True

True if photo-electron data is to be stored with the resulting amplitudes (in mean-p.e. units) in addition to the arrival times. Storing of photo-electron data should be activated separately (see save_photons (bit 1) and store_photoelectrons parameters) but non-zero values of this parameter will also activate save_photons bit 1. Storing p.e. in internal calibration events is controlled separately by save_calibration_pe.

store_photoelectrons

1.0.0

26

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

tailcut_scale

1.0.0

2.3

The special scheme for selecting pixels belonging to a shower image as implemented in sim_telarray (as opposed to the traditional two-level tailcut scheme) has multiple thresholds for the various levels of confidence that a pixel actually belongs to the shower image. Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.

Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.

Short Description

correct_nsb_spectrum_to_telescope_altitude

1.0.0

atm_trans_2200_1_3_0_0_0.dat

Correct the night-sky background spectrum to the telescope altitude from the altitude where the Benn & Ellison spectrum was measured. The correction is done within sim_telarray and is based on the atmospheric transmission to 2200 m a.s.l (atm_trans_2200_1_3_0_0_0.dat).

iobuf_maximum

1.0.0

1000000000 byte

Buffer limits for input and output of eventio data.

iobuf_output_maximum

1.0.0

400000000 byte

The maximum size of the I/O buffer for output data, including raw data for all telescopes.

min_photoelectrons

1.0.0

30

Minimum number of detected photoelectrons required before running electronics simulation.

min_photons

1.0.0

450

Minimum number of photons required before doing simulation.

random_generator

mt19937

sampled_output

1.0.0

True

Select a specific output format (if several available). A value of 0 means to write ADC sums, a value of 1 to write ADC samples.

save_pe_with_amplitude

1.0.0

True

True if photo-electron data is to be stored with the resulting amplitudes (in mean-p.e. units) in addition to the arrival times. Storing of photo-electron data should be activated separately (see save_photons (bit 1) and store_photoelectrons parameters) but non-zero values of this parameter will also activate save_photons bit 1. Storing p.e. in internal calibration events is controlled separately by save_calibration_pe.

store_photoelectrons

1.0.0

26

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

The special scheme for selecting pixels belonging to a shower image as implemented in sim_telarray (as opposed to the traditional two-level tailcut scheme) has multiple thresholds for the various levels of confidence that a pixel actually belongs to the shower image. Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.

Short Description

correct_nsb_spectrum_to_telescope_altitude

1.0.0

atm_trans_2200_1_3_0_0_0.dat

Correct the night-sky background spectrum to the telescope altitude from the altitude where the Benn & Ellison spectrum was measured. The correction is done within sim_telarray and is based on the atmospheric transmission to 2200 m a.s.l (atm_trans_2200_1_3_0_0_0.dat).

iobuf_maximum

1.0.0

1000000000 byte

Buffer limits for input and output of eventio data.

iobuf_output_maximum

1.0.0

400000000 byte

The maximum size of the I/O buffer for output data, including raw data for all telescopes.

min_photoelectrons

1.0.0

30

Minimum number of detected photoelectrons required before running electronics simulation.

min_photons

1.0.0

450

Minimum number of photons required before doing simulation.

random_generator

mt19937

Random generator used.

sampled_output

1.0.0

True

Select a specific output format (if several available). A value of 0 means to write ADC sums, a value of 1 to write ADC samples.

save_pe_with_amplitude

1.0.0

True

True if photo-electron data is to be stored with the resulting amplitudes (in mean-p.e. units) in addition to the arrival times. Storing of photo-electron data should be activated separately (see save_photons (bit 1) and store_photoelectrons parameters) but non-zero values of this parameter will also activate save_photons bit 1. Storing p.e. in internal calibration events is controlled separately by save_calibration_pe.

store_photoelectrons

1.0.0

26

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

The special scheme for selecting pixels belonging to a shower image as implemented in sim_telarray (as opposed to the traditional two-level tailcut scheme) has multiple thresholds for the various levels of confidence that a pixel actually belongs to the shower image. Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.

Short Description

correct_nsb_spectrum_to_telescope_altitude

1.0.0

atm_trans_2200_1_3_0_0_0.dat

Correct the night-sky background spectrum to the telescope altitude from the altitude where the Benn & Ellison spectrum was measured. The correction is done within sim_telarray and is based on the atmospheric transmission to 2200 m a.s.l (atm_trans_2200_1_3_0_0_0.dat).

iobuf_maximum

1.0.0

1000000000 byte

Buffer limits for input and output of eventio data.

iobuf_output_maximum

1.0.0

400000000 byte

The maximum size of the I/O buffer for output data, including raw data for all telescopes.

min_photoelectrons

1.0.0

25

Minimum number of detected photoelectrons required before running electronics simulation.

min_photons

1.0.0

360

Minimum number of photons required before doing simulation.

random_generator

mt19937

Random generator used.

sampled_output

1.0.0

True

Select a specific output format (if several available). A value of 0 means to write ADC sums, a value of 1 to write ADC samples.

save_pe_with_amplitude

1.0.0

True

True if photo-electron data is to be stored with the resulting amplitudes (in mean-p.e. units) in addition to the arrival times. Storing of photo-electron data should be activated separately (see save_photons (bit 1) and store_photoelectrons parameters) but non-zero values of this parameter will also activate save_photons bit 1. Storing p.e. in internal calibration events is controlled separately by save_calibration_pe.

store_photoelectrons

1.0.0

22

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

2.6

The special scheme for selecting pixels belonging to a shower image as implemented in sim_telarray (as opposed to the traditional two-level tailcut scheme) has multiple thresholds for the various levels of confidence that a pixel actually belongs to the shower image. Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.

Short Description

correct_nsb_spectrum_to_telescope_altitude

1.0.0

atm_trans_2200_1_3_0_0_0.dat

Correct the night-sky background spectrum to the telescope altitude from the altitude where the Benn & Ellison spectrum was measured. The correction is done within sim_telarray and is based on the atmospheric transmission to 2200 m a.s.l (atm_trans_2200_1_3_0_0_0.dat).

iobuf_maximum

1.0.0

1000000000 byte

Buffer limits for input and output of eventio data.

iobuf_output_maximum

1.0.0

400000000 byte

The maximum size of the I/O buffer for output data, including raw data for all telescopes.

min_photoelectrons

1.0.0

25

Minimum number of detected photoelectrons required before running electronics simulation.

min_photons

1.0.0

360

Minimum number of photons required before doing simulation.

random_generator

sampled_output

1.0.0

True

Select a specific output format (if several available). A value of 0 means to write ADC sums, a value of 1 to write ADC samples.

save_pe_with_amplitude

1.0.0

True

True if photo-electron data is to be stored with the resulting amplitudes (in mean-p.e. units) in addition to the arrival times. Storing of photo-electron data should be activated separately (see save_photons (bit 1) and store_photoelectrons parameters) but non-zero values of this parameter will also activate save_photons bit 1. Storing p.e. in internal calibration events is controlled separately by save_calibration_pe.

store_photoelectrons

1.0.0

22

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

save_pe_with_amplitude

1.0.0

True

True if photo-electron data is to be stored with the resulting amplitudes (in mean-p.e. units) in addition to the arrival times. Storing of photo-electron data should be activated separately (see save_photons (bit 1) and store_photoelectrons parameters) but non-zero values of this parameter will also activate save_photons bit 1. Storing p.e. in internal calibration events is controlled separately by save_calibration_pe.

The special scheme for selecting pixels belonging to a shower image as implemented in sim_telarray (as opposed to the traditional two-level tailcut scheme) has multiple thresholds for the various levels of confidence that a pixel actually belongs to the shower image. Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.

save_pe_with_amplitude

1.0.0

True

True if photo-electron data is to be stored with the resulting amplitudes (in mean-p.e. units) in addition to the arrival times. Storing of photo-electron data should be activated separately (see save_photons (bit 1) and store_photoelectrons parameters) but non-zero values of this parameter will also activate save_photons bit 1. Storing p.e. in internal calibration events is controlled separately by save_calibration_pe.

store_photoelectrons

1.0.0

26

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

The special scheme for selecting pixels belonging to a shower image as implemented in sim_telarray (as opposed to the traditional two-level tailcut scheme) has multiple thresholds for the various levels of confidence that a pixel actually belongs to the shower image. Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

tailcut_scale

The special scheme for selecting pixels belonging to a shower image as implemented in sim_telarray (as opposed to the traditional two-level tailcut scheme) has multiple thresholds for the various levels of confidence that a pixel actually belongs to the shower image. Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

tailcut_scale

The special scheme for selecting pixels belonging to a shower image as implemented in sim_telarray (as opposed to the traditional two-level tailcut scheme) has multiple thresholds for the various levels of confidence that a pixel actually belongs to the shower image. Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

tailcut_scale

The special scheme for selecting pixels belonging to a shower image as implemented in sim_telarray (as opposed to the traditional two-level tailcut scheme) has multiple thresholds for the various levels of confidence that a pixel actually belongs to the shower image. Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

tailcut_scale

The special scheme for selecting pixels belonging to a shower image as implemented in sim_telarray (as opposed to the traditional two-level tailcut scheme) has multiple thresholds for the various levels of confidence that a pixel actually belongs to the shower image. Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

tailcut_scale

1.0.0

1

The special scheme for selecting pixels belonging to a shower image as implemented in sim_telarray (as opposed to the traditional two-level tailcut scheme) has multiple thresholds for the various levels of confidence that a pixel actually belongs to the shower image. Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.

sampled_output

1.0.0

True

Select a specific output format (if several available). A value of 0 means to write ADC sums, a value of 1 to write ADC samples.

save_pe_with_amplitude

1.0.0

True

True if photo-electron data is to be stored with the resulting amplitudes (in mean-p.e. units) in addition to the arrival times. Storing of photo-electron data should be activated separately (see save_photons (bit 1) and store_photoelectrons parameters) but non-zero values of this parameter will also activate save_photons bit 1. Storing p.e. in internal calibration events is controlled separately by save_calibration_pe.
