reboost.hpge.psd._current_pulse_model(times, amax, mu, sigma, tail_fraction, tau, high_tail_fraction=0, high_tau=0)

Analytic model for the current pulse in a Germanium detector.

Consists of a Gaussian, a high side exponential tail and a low side tail:

Parameters:
  • times (ArrayLike) – Array of times to compute current for.

  • amax (float) – Maximum current for the template

  • mu (float) – Time of the maximum current.

  • sigma (float) – Width of the current pulse

reboost.hpge.psd._drift_time_heuristic_impl(dt, edep)

Low-level implementation of the HPGe drift-time-based pulse-shape heuristic.

Accepts Awkward arrays and uses Numba to speed up the computation.

For each hit (collection of steps), the drift times and corresponding energies are sorted in ascending order. The function finds the optimal split point \(m\) that maximizes the identification metric:

\[I = \frac{|T_1 - T_2|}{E_\text{s}(E_1, E_2)}\]

where:

\[T_1 = \frac{\sum_{i < m} t_i E_i}{\sum_{i < m} E_i} \quad \text{and} \quad T_2 = \frac{\sum_{i \geq m} t_i E_i}{\sum_{i \geq m} E_i}\]

are the energy-weighted mean drift times of the two groups.

\[E_\text{scale}(E_1, E_2) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{E_1 E_2}}\]

is the scaling factor.

The function iterates over all possible values of \(m\) and selects the maximum I as the drift time heuristic value.

Parameters:

reboost.hpge.utils.get_hpge_scalar_rz_field(filename, obj, field, out_of_bounds_val=nan, **kwargs)

Create an interpolator for a gridded scalar HPGe field defined on (r, z).

Reads from disk the following data structure:

FILENAME/
└── OBJ · struct{r,z,FIELD}
    ├── r · array<1>{real} ── {'units': 'UNITS'}
    ├── z · array<1>{real} ── {'units': 'UNITS'}
    └── FIELD · array<2>{real} ── {'units': 'UNITS'}

where FILENAME, OBJ and FIELD are provided as arguments to this function. obj is a Struct, r and z are one dimensional arrays specifying the radial and z coordinates of the rectangular grid — not the coordinates of each single grid point.

The first and second dimensions are r and z, respectively. NaN values are interpreted as points outside the detector profile in the (r, z) plane.

Before returning a HPGeScalarRZField, the gridded field is fed to scipy.interpolate.RegularGridInterpolator.

Parameters:
  • filename (str) – name of the LH5 file containing the gridded scalar field.

  • obj (str) – name of the HDF5 dataset where the data is saved.
