29// All times in this class are relative times. Therefor the unit for the
30// time is not intrinsically fixed. In fact the dead-time and recovery-
31// time given in the constructor must have the same units. This is what
32// defines the unit of the times given in the function and the unit of
33// rates given.
34// For example, if recovery and dead time are given in nanoseconds the
35// all times must be in nanoseconds and rates are given per nanosecond,
36// i.e. GHz.

64// n is the number od cells in x or y. The APD is assumed to
65// be square.
66// prob is the crosstalk probability, i.e., the probability that a
67// photon which produced an avalanche will create another
68// photon in a neighboring cell
69// dt is the deadtime, i.e., the time in which the APD cell will show
70// no response to a photon after a hit
71// rt is the recovering tims, i.e. the exponential (e^(-dt/rt))
72// with which the cell is recovering after being dead
73//
74// prob, dt and ar can be set to 0 to switch the effect off.
75// 0 is also the dfeault for all three.

86// This is the recursive implementation of a hit. If a photon hits a cell
87// at x and y (must be a valid cell!) at time t, at first we check if the
88// cell is still dead. If it is not dead we calculate the signal height
89// from the recovery time. Now we check with the crosstalk probability
90// whether another photon is created. If another photon is created we
91// calculate randomly which of the four neighbor cells are hit.
92// If the cell is outside the APD the photon is ignored. As many
93// new photons are created until our random number is below the crosstak-
94// probability.
95//
96// The total height of the signal (in units of photons) is returned.
97// Note, that this can be a fractional number.

101// around a lot of sanity checks which are obsolete in our case.
