CH ROOT Nonuniform Binning
Rebinning via Energy Calibration
Regarding use of 4096 channel peak sensing ADC
- Creates an array 4097 entries long to be used for bin edges
double bins[4097];
- Opens a for loop for bin creation
for(int i=0; i<=4096; i++){
- Fills arrays with values for bin edges using the energy calibration fit for HPGe detector
bins[i] = i*i*(-0.000000861277) + i*(0.449519)-36.2928;
- Cout statement to print bin edges to the terminal window as for loop is processing
cout << bins[i] << endl;
- Closes the for loop and begins evaluation
}
At this point you should have an array filled with values for bin edges. Note that channel zero is now mapped to ~ -36KeV
Debugging
Error: Bins must be in increasing order
This error was thrown by having an integer at +1 the value it should have been at when making the histogram. The following should allow you to find bins that are at a lower value than the previous. This for loop will parse through the entire bins array and print the bins
for(int i=0; i<=4096; i++){
if(bins[i]>=bins[i+1]){cout << i <<" " << bins[i] <<" " << bins[i+1] << endl;
}
