 before the latest camera repair access which resulted in a replacement of about 2\% of the pixels known to be 
 mal-functionning at that time.

 Moreover, the number of events are counted which have been reconstructed outside a 5 sigma region 
 from the mean signal. These events are called ``outliers''. Figure~\ref{fig:outlier} shows a typical

+One can already see that the largest window sizes yield a high number of un-calibrated pixels, mostly 
+due to the missing ability to recognize the low-intensity pulses (see later). One can also see that
