Results of Light Output Measurements

The analysis of the LED spectra also involves several steps. First, an energy calibration is done based on the expected position of the muon peak. Next, the five or six discrete energy peaks are fit with a Gaussian function to determine their means and standard deviations. Finally, the slope of the graph of sigma squared against energy is measured and the number of photoelectrons per MeV (tex2html_wrap_inline5160) is extracted, as described in Section 3.1.
