keyword=Detector vs BCM fit - pedestal error?Shown below are fits of detector signal versus BCM1. Extrapolating the fits to the y-axis, we can get an error for the pedestal. For each detector, the Y-intercept is: det1: 6250 det2: 6321 det3: 5897 det4: 6397 These values correspond to errors in the pedestal of: det1: 6.9% det2: 6.9% det3: 6.5% det4: 7.0% The consistency of these errors indicates a pedestal error. So, assuming the detectors are linear to within 2%, we could use them to calibrate the BCM pedestals more accurately.
