Comparison between constant fraction and leading edge timing discrimination for a total Npe = 4000 photoelectrons and photodetector timing jitters of 0.2 ns fwhm.

Discrimination type Trigger level WDAB WEAB WWAB
Optimal constant fraction 0.018 0.143 0.118 0.111
Optimal leading edge 2.0a 0.140 0.120 0.112

For front photodetector A this corresponds to a trigger fraction of 0.014 of the average amplitude 140.5 SER. For rear photodetector B this corresponds to a trigger fraction of 0.019 of the average amplitude 104.3 SER.
