Changing L1Event dynamic coincidence time window #17

For doing more count rate measurements for distances < 1km I am setting up another local detector network.
Currently, the DNP seems only to store L1Events that fall within the dynamic coincidence time window which is given by the detector distance from GPS coordinates and the speed of light.

Is it possible that you change the time window such that we also include some background in the measurement? This would be helpful for analyzing the data afterwards.

A proposed scheme could be:

  • For light-distances smaller 10us: store all data within a 10us window
  • For light distances larger 10us: store data dynamically based on the detector distance
  • Keep the hard upper distance cut at what it currently is (300us? km?)

In the attached figure, I plot the time differences between coincidence events from the DNP, and only events within the blue band (speed-of-light distance between the two detectors) are stored in the database. For me, it would be better to have more background, i.e. 10us as described above.

Thanks :)
