Barriers to optimisation
•With yields so
low (~1-2%), there is a lot of noise in the
figure of merit
•One simulation has ~20k particles to
start with, becoming ~60k with multiple
decays and emission delays
•At 1%
this gives 600 out, s=24.3
•At 2%
this gives 1200 out, s=34.3
•Could
even be a factor of sqrt(3) larger
