Hello hps-software, I have recently noticed something odd with reconstruction for Monte Carlo, and wanted to see if any recon experts could comment on it. I ran readout over a pure tri-trig MC sample (with ~500 empty events spacing to prevent overlap) using the 2016 pair 1 steering file. /steering-files/src/main/resources/org/hps/steering/readout/PhysicsRun2016TrigPairs1.lcsim The only change that I made was to disable noise on the SVT and calorimeter. Doing this produces results as I would expect, and I see that every event registers at least two GTP clusters during readout, as it must for a pair trigger. However, when I run recon, I find that many events have either no clusters or only one cluster after recon, and that the recon energies are often a lot lower than the readout energies. Consider for example a few of the following event logs: > *Event 1276**Raw Hits:* > Hit at 126989 and time 0 ns and position < -190.1, 30.0, 1472.1>. > ADC: 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120

I suspect that this is related to whatever is causing the drop in energy. This seems to occur on the hit level, and presumably some of the clusters and/or hits are coming up below whatever the cut-off threshold is for inclusion and thus being dropped. I'm not completely sure, though. Can any recon experts comment on what is going on here?
