After subtracting the simulated number of photo-electrons, 117 the bias (in units of photo-electrons) is obtained. 118 \par 119 Figure~\ref{fig:mc:ConversionvsNphe_FixW} through~\ref{fig:mc:ChargeRes_DFSpline} show the results for the tested extractors, with and 120 without added noise and for the high and low-gain regions separately. 121 \par 122 As expected, the fixed window extractor do not show any bias up to statistical precision. All sliding window extractor, however, do show 123 a bias. Usually, the bias vanishes for signals above 5--10~photo-electrons, except for the sliding windows with window sizes above 124 8~FADC slices. There, the bias only vanishes for signals above 20~photo-electrons. The size of the bias as well as the minimum signal 125 strength above which the bias vanishes are clearly correlated with the extraction window size. Therefore, smaller window sizes yield 126 smaller biases and extend their linear range further downwards. The best extractors have a negligible bias above about 5 photo-electrons. 127 This corresponds to the results found in section~\ref{sec:pedestals} where the lowest image cleaning threshold for extra-galactic 128 noise levels yielded about 5 photo-electrons as well. 129 \par 130 All integrating spline extractors and all sliding window extractors with extraction windows above or equal 6 FADC slices 131 yield the comparably smallest biases. The rest results to be about a factor 1.5 higher. The spline and digital filter biases fall 132 down very steeply. 133 134 113 135 \begin{figure}[htp]%%[t!] 114 136 \centering … … 120 142 \vspace{\floatsep} 121 143 \includegraphics[width=0.49\linewidth]{TimeAndChargePlots/TDAS_ConversionvsNphe_FixW_WithNoise_LoGain.eps} 122 \includegraphics[width=0.49\linewidth]{TimeAndChargePlots/TDAS_ChargeDivNphevsNphe_FixW_WithNoise_LoGain.eps}123 144 \caption[Bias Fixed Windows]{The measured bias (extracted charge divided by the conversion factor minus the number of photoelectrons) 124 145 versus number of photoelectrons, … … 159 180 \label{fig:mc:ConversionvsNphe_DFSpline} 160 181 \end{figure} 182 183 \clearpage 184 185 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 186 187 \subsection{Measurement of the Resolutions \label{sec:mc:resolutions}} 161 188 162 189 \begin{figure}[htp] … … 208 235 \clearpage 209 236 237 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%5 238 210 239 \subsection{Charge Signals with and without Simulated Noise \label{fig:mc:sec:mc:chargenoise}} 211 240
