Cosmic radiation (single muon or soft component) passing through
the FD camera can produce a geometrically and time correlated signals
on several pixels. This can be due to Cherenkov light produced in the
glass of the photomultipliers. In this event a nice track is observed
on the camera. On the left side the active pixels are shown in green.
The black dots indicate the pixels whose FADC traces are shown on the
histograms on the right side (bin equal to 100 ns).
Notice that all signals appear at the same time as
expected for a cosmic ray passing through the camera.
Events of this kind are observed also when the shutters of the
telescopes are closed.
Events due to a cosmic ray shower in the atmosphere show a
completely different pattern in the FADC traces (see
previous event).
