NET for LAT about s4sim

[smsimon]

There are two different estimations for noise in the LAT. One using scaled noise and one using the SO sensitivity calculator. These are both included here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17KtDIc7pHTdL2F_22RZHve7l0vf-IY_YwMDVXQoEdnE/edit#gid=0. Looks like the scaled one (which is what was input initially) now has a note that it needs to be updated, so it may be beneficial to use the SO sensitivity calculation values instead. Also note that the scaled noise is similar between SAT and LAT, but is still different.

I am checking with the instrument group to see which version they prefer us to use since the numbers in their spreadsheet also don't match the numbers in the DSR.

@keskitalo did you use what is in s4sim for the design sim tool simulations?

[keskitalo]

@zonca I did. All noise levels come directly from s4sim.

Just put in a pull request for the updated LAT noise values.

see #8

I'm confused that the numbers in the DSR (Table 3.2) are neither of the sets of numbers in the reference design spreadsheet (rows 17 & 18). Julian

They are close for all but UHF, I think. According to Ruhl there were some ad-hoc corrections trying to account for different numbers of detectors but there was confusion about which was better. I took the more conservative value between the two.

SO v3 is what the LAT will be using going forward on the instrument side, and their releases will offer good traceability. We at least know what went into those numbers for these sensitivity numbers. It seems like there isn't a lot of info on what happened to get the DSR numbers but they were tweaked from the SO v3 numbers. The CDT numbers appear to be from very different pixel sizes, so it makes sense that those would be very different.
