pmt module

Pmt

module with the photomultiplier response function

pmt.apply_pmt(pulse, t, ndynodes=10, delta=4, sigma=5.0, transittime=100.0)

Adds the pmt response to a signal. The pmt response is modeled as a gaussian with amplitude depending on the number of dynodes and the dynode gain.

Args:

pulse (numpy.array): the photon pulse from the scintillator

t (numpy.array): the time axis of the pulse

Kwargs:

ndynodes (int): the number of dynodes

delta (float): the average gain of the dynodes

sigma (float): the time spread of the gaussian response [ns]

Returns:

newpulse (numpy.array): the current pulse produced by the pmt
