Hit Counting method
- Count hits in (??,Npart) bins
- Evaluate number of particles per hit pad
* Assume Poisson statistics P(N)=?Ne-?/N!
? - determined by the measured ratio (p) of occupied
to empty pads: ? = ln(1+p)
* Perform a multi-Landau fits to ?E (??,Npart) spectra
(convoluted with gaussian)
- Fold in a final background correction (MC)
