Criteria for comparison are defined and used to judge the different extractors applied to calibration signals, cosmics and pedestals. At the end, -a digital filter fitting the signal over four FADC slices is proposed as the best extractor. -The question of pedestal calculation for the different extractors is adressed. The digital filter -is used to extract and fit single photo-electron pulses from the night sky background. +extractors are recommended for the most conservative and the most advanced and demanding analyses. +It is shown that the digital filter +can be used to extract and fit single photo-electron pulses from the night sky background. +The achievable time resolution can be parameterized to be: +\begin{equation} +\Delta T_{\mathrm{cosmics}} \approx \sqrt{\frac{(2\,\mathrm{ns})^2}{/{\mathrm{phe}}} ++ \frac{(4.5\,\mathrm{ns})^2}{^2/{\mathrm{phe^2}}} + (0.2\,\mathrm{ns})^2} . \nonumber +\label{eq:time:fitprediction} +\end{equation} +For galactic backgrounds an image cleaning threshold as low as 5~photo-electrons can be achieved +for rejecting 99.7\% of noise. \end{abstract} Index: trunk/MagicSoft/TDAS-Extractor/Results.tex =================================================================== --- trunk/MagicSoft/TDAS-Extractor/Results.tex (revision 6656) +++ trunk/MagicSoft/TDAS-Extractor/Results.tex (revision 6657) @@ -44,7 +44,7 @@ 18 & Slid.
