Calibration Time over Threshold distribution
ID: C13 in LAT-MD-00446-04
Description: Time response of GTRC chip from input charge from a minimum ionizing particle.
Software required: SAS
Algorithm: Select at least 1000 events containing on axis ( < 5 deg with respect to LAT Z axis) single-track muons and histogram the time distribution for every TKR layer where time is converted from counts to microseconds. Fit distributions with a Landau curve and record the most probable and the fitted sigma values.
