Orsay data: still looking for coincidences

The data: Run 105 (80 MeV 14C on nat C)
The sort routine: require exactly one good event (i.e. both ends of strip have good signal) in det 1 (downstream), and exactly one good event (i.e. both ends of strip have good signal, and the complementary strip in det 3 does NOT have a signal) in det 4 (downstream quad).

Strip number of hit in det 1


Strip number of hit in det 4


det 4 strip number vs det 1 strip number


I find that last plot quite encouraging: it looks just like this one (the simulation of the same thing), just with strip numbers reversed for det 1.
I don't think that necessarily means that most of what we're seeing is elastic scattering (although it strongly suggests that that's true), but it makes it highly improbable that it's noise at any rate.
