Try to calculate dE/dx...
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.

The ratio of tilted to horizontal integration means is 1.24 (old data) and 1.28 (new data); it should be 1 (as they are already scaled by track length) so this means the tilted integrations are 25-30% too large.

The ratio of tilted to horizontal MPV of Landau fitted to (integration to first maximum/tracklength) histogram is 1.07 (old data) and 1.18 (new data).
Look at time over threshold...
Peak duration 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
