Calibration: CAL light asymmetry

ID:  C14  in LAT-MD-00446-04

Description:   One measures the signal asymmetry  (ADCpos- ADCneg) /  (ADCpos+ ADCneg) for 12 positions along each crystal.

Software required:  SAS

Algorithm:  These positions are selected by applying criteria to the signals from other layers, oriented in the direction perpendicular to the tested crystal.    It is also possible to use tracker information for such calibration.   To be expanded by CAL.

Notes: The calibration of  longitudinal position measurement from light asymmetry could be done for EM using cosmic ray muons and thus is available only for range LEX8. For other ranges such calibration of EM requires beam test with corresponding beam energy.
