Detection efficiency

Distribution of the distance (in microns) between the track position in the pixel plane (obtained with the reference telescope) and the center-of-gravity of all (3x3 pixel) clusters measured in the MIMOSA-1 plane.

The detection efficiency of the different types of sensors is summarised hereafter.

Sensor Detection efficiency
MIMOSA-1 (1 diode/pixel) 99.5 +- 0.2 %
MIMOSA-1 (4 diodes/pixel) 99.2 +- 0.2 %
MIMOSA-2 (1 diode/pixel) 98.5 +- 0.3 %
