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

//    n     is the number od cells in x or y. The APD is assumed to

//    prob  is the crosstalk probability, i.e., the probability that a
//          photon which produced an avalanche will create another
//          photon in a neighboring cell
//    dt    is the deadtime, i.e., the time in which the APD cell will show
//          no response to a photon after a hit
//    rt    is the recovering tims, i.e. the exponential (e^(-dt/rt))
//          with which the cell is recovering after being dead
//
//    prob, dt and ar can be set to 0 to switch the effect off.
//    0 is also the dfeault for all three.

// This is the recursive implementation of a hit. If a photon hits a cell
// at x and y (must be a valid cell!) at time t, at first we check if the
// cell is still dead. If it is not dead we calculate the signal height
// from the recovery time. Now we check with the crosstalk probability
// whether another photon is created. If another photon is created we
// calculate randomly which of the four neighbor cells are hit.
// If the cell is outside the APD the photon is ignored. As many
// new photons are created until our random number is below the crosstak-
// probability.
//
// The total height of the signal (in units of photons) is returned.
// Note, that this can be a fractional number.
//
// This function looks a bit fancy accessing the histogram and works around
// a few histogram functions. This is a speed optimization which works
// around a lot of sanity checks which are obsolete in our case.
