Adds a random time offset to each event depending on the fraction of the spill that was simulated.

Any thoughts @olantwin @matclim ?

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added event time offsets during hit digitisation.
    • Detector hits now include the event offset alongside their smeared timestamps.
    • Event timing is calculated across the configured spill range, with a randomly selected offset for each event.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved consistency of reconstructed hit timestamps across detector types.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The digitisation pipeline now samples one event time offset, forwards it to all detector digitisers, and applies it to reconstructed hit timestamps. A megaNum class calculates the event time range from the configured POT value.

Changes

Event time offset

Layer / File(s) Summary
Time range generation
src/digitise_hits.cpp
megaNum provides scientific-notation arithmetic. The registration lambda calculates high_time and samples an event offset for each event.
Digitiser offset forwarding
src/digitise_hits.cpp
Digitiser::operator() and its internal digitise method accept and forward event_time_offset to all five detector digitisers.
Detector hit timestamp updates
src/detectors/upstream_tagger.hpp, src/detectors/surround_tagger.hpp, src/detectors/straw_tubes.hpp, src/detectors/calorimeter.hpp, src/detectors/timing_detector.hpp
Each detector digitiser applies time_offset + sim_hit.time to the reconstructed hit while preserving smearing behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9812b

The change adds randomized event timing, but the current implementation has bounded correctness and configuration-range risks in edge cases. It is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up, preferably fixing the zero-left subtraction and preserving a sufficiently wide pot value before merge.

In principle this looks good! Also reminds me that I wanted to port the time-window building to Shannon...

I'd maybe call this random event time-offset?

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Fix zero-left-hand subtraction.

When m_base is zero, megaNum::operator- returns rhs. megaNum{0} - rhs then produces rhs instead of -rhs.

Proposed fix
         if (m_base == 0.0)
-            return rhs;
+            return megaNum{-rhs.m_base, rhs.m_exponent};
