Hi Andrea,

What you have is correct, with of course the addition of pedestal subtraction.

This is the convention used by the DAQ for the trigger (and it would make
sense to use the same convention for the gains in the conditions db):
E(MeV) = GAIN * FADC

And the result of the cosmic gain calibration is then:
GAIN = 15 MeV / MEASURED_COSMIC_FADC_PULSE_INTEGRAL
