Detailed Description

A process allowing to recover selected channels from a TRestRawSignalEvent.

The TRestDetectorSignalRecoveryProcess allows to recover a selection of daq channel ids from a TRestDetectorSignalEvent. The dead channels must be known beforehand and the signal ids to be recovered must be specified through the corresponding section at the RML configuration file.

The following example will apply the recovery algorithm for the channels with signal ids 17,19,27 and 67. The signal ids must exist in the readout defined through the TRestDetectorReadout structure.

<TRestDetectorSignalRecoveryProcess name="returnChannels"
title="Recovering few channels" verboseLevel="debug" >
    <parameter name="channelIds" value="{17,27,67}" />
</TRestDetectorSignalRecoveryProcess>

The dead channel reconstruction algorithm is for the moment very simple. The charge of the dead channel is directly calculated by using the charge of the adjacent readout channels, $s_i = 0.5 \times (s_{i-1} + s_{i+1})$

Now we preserve the energy of the event, we apply the following correction to the dead channel (i) and the adjacent channels.

$s_{i-1} = 0.5 * s_{i-1}$ $s_i = 0.5 \times (s_{i-1} + s_{i+1})$ $s_{i+1} = 0.5 * s_{i+1}$ The algorithm will also identify in case we have up to two consecutive dead channels. In that case it will apply the following correction, where i and i+1 are the dead channels.

$s_{i-1} = 0.5 * s_{i-1}$ $s_i = 1/6 \times (2*s_{i-1} + s_{i+2})$ $s_{i+1} = 1/6 \times (s_{i-1} + 2*s_{i+2})$ $s_{i+2} = 0.5 * s_{i+2}$

This process will access the information of the decoding stored in the TRestDetectorReadout definition to assure that the righ signal ids, corresponding to the adjacent channels, are used in the calculation.

Warning: This process will only be functional if the detectorlib was compiled. You may check if it is the case executing the command rest-config --libs, and checking the output shows -lRestDetector.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ TRestDetectorSignalRecoveryProcess()

TRestDetectorSignalRecoveryProcess::TRestDetectorSignalRecoveryProcess ( const char * configFilename )

Constructor loading data from a config file.

If no configuration path is defined using TRestMetadata::SetConfigFilePath the path to the config file must be specified using full path, absolute or relative.

The default behaviour is that the config file must be specified with full path, absolute or relative.

Parameters

configFilename A const char* giving the path to an RML file.

◆ GetAdjacentSignalIds()

int TRestDetectorSignalRecoveryProcess::GetAdjacentSignalIds	(	Int_t	signalId,
		Int_t &	idLeft,
		Int_t &	idRight
	)

private

It returns the channel daq id of the adjacent readout channels. It will properly identify that we got two dead channels, but no more than two.

It returns a value that determines the case we are considering.

0: Something went wrong (channels not found?) 1: There is only one dead channel 2: There is an additional dead channel to the left 3: There is an additional dead channel to the right

Definition at line 287 of file TRestDetectorSignalRecoveryProcess.cxx.

◆ LoadConfig()

void TRestDetectorSignalRecoveryProcess::LoadConfig	(	const std::string &	configFilename,
		const std::string &	name = `""`
	)

Function to load the configuration from an external configuration file.

If no configuration path is defined in TRestMetadata::SetConfigFilePath the path to the config file must be specified using full path, absolute or relative.

Parameters

configFilename	A const char* giving the path to an RML file.
name	The name of the specific metadata. It will be used to find the correspondig TRestGeant4AnalysisProcess section inside the RML.

Definition at line 162 of file TRestDetectorSignalRecoveryProcess.cxx.

◆ ProcessEvent()

TRestEvent * TRestDetectorSignalRecoveryProcess::ProcessEvent ( TRestEvent * eventInput )

overridevirtual

The main processing event function.

If the dead channel has no charge on left and right then we do not correct. We could think about correction here? It means it is the first or last channel.

Energy preserved. This could be optional using a new metadata member

We removed the charge that we place at the dead channel In this case we remove a 25% because we will enter twice in this loop

Implements TRestEventProcess.
