Peak length is # samples after the lower threshold crossing until the ADC value decreases by 2sigma over 2 samples, this is a measure of time over threshold in units of 8ns


50/50 gas, 2100V

        • Caveat: data were with preamp underpowered, 2.65V on preamp card ****


Peak length vs first maximum in signal amplitude
No tilt
Tilted at 45 degrees


dE/dx calculated as full integration from low threshold crossing for next 700ns / track length
No tilt
Tilted at 45 degrees

Track length is calculated in the plane parallel to the endplates (no z information) so I scaled it by the tilt of the prototype for the 45 degree data, the upper cosmic trigger scintillator is high up enough that the cosmics are ~ vertical

height of first maximum in signal amplitude / track length
No tilt
Tilted at 45 degrees
