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)
