keyword=pedestal noise vs integrate time.
We find that the pedestal noise in Compton scales in a dramatic
and unexpected way with the integration time. The times are
shown in the histogram title, "window 100" etc. The number is
number of 2.5 usec bits (so, 13000 = 32.5 msec). The RMS grows
from 0.085 to 3.3 (the last plot is deliberately truncated in x-axis).
I.e. the noise grows a factor of 40 when you change the integrate
time from 0.25 msec to 32 msec.
