    Detector 1 moved closer to target

    Detector 1 discrimination circuit was modified to minimize timing walk. This was done by sending two copies of the analog signal into two discriminators, one set to -50 mV, the other set to -100 mV. The discriminated signals are then ANDed such that the output timing is that of the low-threshold pulse.

    The bottom line is that the hardware threshold on detector 1 is -100 mV (but should have reduced time-walk). There will be a relative shift in the timing of this signal due to the extra logic involved.

    The hardware threshold for detector 2 was confirmed to be -50 mV. No changes were made to this detector relative to the earlier runs.
