to draw a histogram for Peak ADC channel 4
PAA->Draw("PADC.PADC785N[4]>>(4096,0,4096)")
To scale the histogram using an energy calibration of 0.45 keV/channel
PAA->Draw("PADC.PADC785N[4]*0.45>>(4096,0,4096)")
To save thehistogram under the name Cs137
PAA->Draw("PADC.PADC785N[4]*0.45>>Cs137(4096,0,4096)")
To normalize the histogram by a run time of 2600 seconds

data 5/3/21
Set up:
- Lead: Detector surrounded on 4 sides by 1" lead. Front end 4" of lead. Back end exposed.
- Poly: Up to 40cm of green poly between lead and source (line-of-sight). No poly elsewhere.
