Sources of stochastic
noise
Some things are controlled by the RNG:
•The 20k pions of the initial rod dataset
•Rotations of these pions about the axis
•Random delays of this dataset to simulate 1ns RMS incoming proton pulse *
•Decays of pions and muons *
–* These are weighted, so they each happen 3x in the current simulations.
Old simulations had the
decay 10x and no delays.
