Analysis<br />

The raw data is analysed in ROOT:<br />

• using PMT quantum efficiencies obtained on our<br />

test bench, actual hits are calculated<br />

• from <strong>the</strong>se we get <strong>the</strong> total 40 K background rate,<br />

coincidence rates within a certain time window,<br />

and correlated coincidences<br />

• <strong>for</strong> calibration, <strong>the</strong> distribution of correlated hits on<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>OM</strong> surface needs to be understood<br />

• we are also looking at time differences (still in<br />

progress)
