Ok found where I went wrong. Since the peds changed I am using a variable from my older replays which plot the ADC without ped subtraction but applies the gain correction factor. So in order for me to make the photoelectron plots, I have to subtract the ped with this gain correction factor multiplying it. Since I have to check all the peds, and needed just these two plots for the APS I did the ped*gain_correction_factor directly in my script. Turns out I used the wrong gain coeficent, using the correct one fixes it all (see below)<br>

Checked up on what you had asked and here is the plot of the electron signal (red histo) and the background(blue histo). The background peak is at chan 510, which is consistent with my ped runs I did. I'll recheck my plot, maybe I subtracted the wrong ped or using the wrong gain constant.<div>

</div>I'd double check that the pedestal you're subtracting is really the one<br>
you're showing in 1849_rhrs.png -- I'll bet it isn't. (I should be able<br>
to see the pedestal start to rise up in the lowest bins of your mirror13<br>
ped-subracted plot in your talk, but there's nothing there.)<br>
<br>
That is, make the same kind of non-ped-subtracted plot for mirror 13 as<br>
you did for aps_mir3_no_cor.png. If there really is a pedestal below<br>
the blue peak, we should see it.<br>
