I accidentally hardcoded the single PE TTS to 1.5 ns in the likelihood
calculation.

This commit updates the bounds of the track integration in the likelihood
function to integrate up to 1 meter around the point at which the PMT is at the
Cerenkov angle from the track.
This fixes an issue I was seeing where a *very* small change in the fit
paramters would cause the likelihood to jump by a large amount. I eventually
tracked it down to the same issue I was seeing before which I solved by
splitting up the integration into two intervals. However that fix did not seem
to completely fix the issue. Based on initial tests with 500 MeV muons, this
fix seems to do a much better job.

When testing out the fitter on 500 MeV muons, there was at least one event
which started out at a position very far from the true position. This event had
a secondary electron like ring which is what I suspect caused the fit to start
out in a position far from the true position.
This fix correctly starts the minimization close to the true position. In the
future I should look at updating get_direction() so that it finds the largest
ring direction instead of just doing a weighted average of all the vectors from
the position to the PMTs.

This commit updates the likelihood calculation to split up the track integral
into two intervals in some cases. I noticed when fitting some events that the
likelihood value would change drastically for a very small change in the fit
parameters. I eventually tracked it down to the fact that the track integral
was occasionally returning a very small charge for a PMT which should have a
very high charge. This was happening because the region of the track which was
hitting the PMT was very small and the cquad integration routine was completely
skipping it.
The solution to this problem is a bit of a hack, but it seems to work. I first
calculate where along the track (for a straight track) the PMT would be at the
Cerenkov angle from the track. If this point is somewhere along the track then
we split up the integral into two intervals: one going from the start of the
track to this point and the other from the point to the end of the track. Since
the cquad routine always samples points near the end of the intervals this
should prevent it from completely skipping over the point in the track where
the integrand is non-zero.

For some reason the OWL tubes have 9999.00 for the x, y, and z coordinates of
the normal vector in the PMT file. For now, I'm just going to remove them from
the likelihood calculation.

This commit adds the ability to run the fit program with the
--skip-second-event flag to only fit the first event after a MAST bank. This
way we avoid fitting secondaries like Michel electrons when fitting MC events.

This commit fixes a potential heap overflow in interp1d() which could occur if
x was very close to the last value in the xp array. The bounds check is now
performed on the index rather than the x values.

This commit updates the CHARGE_FRACTION value to now represent approximately
the fraction of light reflected from each PMT. It also updates the value to be
closer to the true value based on a couple of fits.

This commit updates get_absorption_length_snoman_d2o() and
get_absorption_length_h2o() to use absorption lengths from SNOMAN. Currently
I'm just using the values from prod/media.dat but there are other media files
in that directory that have values that seem to be actually measured using
in-situ measurements (for example media_qoca_*.dat). I'm not 100% sure which
ones to use so I am adding the default ones for now.

get_path_length()
|
|
|
|
This commit adds a function called get_path_length() which computes the path
length inside and outside a sphere for a line segment between two points. This
will be useful for calculating the photon absorption for paths which cross the
AV and for computing the time of flight of photons from a track to a PMT.

This commit updates the calculation of the muon kinetic energy as a function of
distance along the track. Previously I was using an approximation from the PDG,
but it doesn't seem to be very accurate and won't generalize to the case of
electrons. The kinetic energy is now calculated using the tabulated values of
dE/dx as a function of energy.

This commit makes sure that when we conolve the single PE charge distribution
with a gaussian we integrate starting at zero since the PDF is zero for q < 0.

This commit fixes a bug in interp1d() which would cause the function to read
past the end of the arrays if the interpolation point was equal to the last
point in the xp array.

This commit adds the function ln() to compute log(n) for integer n. It uses a
lookup table for n < 100 to speed things up.
|
|
Previously to avoid computing P(q,t|n)*P(n|mu) for large n when they were very
unlikely I was using a precomputed maximum n value based only on the expected
number of PE. However, this didn't take into account P(q|n).
This commit updates the likelihood function to dynamically decide when to quit
computing these probabilities when the probability for a given n divided by the
most likely probability is less than some threshold.
This threshold is currently set to 10**(-10) which means we quit calculating
these probabilities when the probability is 10 million times less likely than
the most probable value.
