ANITA Calibration

Processing Speed

The time in seconds taken to process the first 10,000 events of run 1028 on a standard desktop machine is shown below for five of the calibration options. The calibrations which do not take account of trigger jitter all take a similar amount of time, the fast (interpolation based) trigger jitter correction is marginally slower, whilst the clock fitting method trundles in six times slower than the fast clock method.

Note: The long real time for the first method is due to NFS caching of the data.
