Hi,
Does anyone know of an example of pulse pile up and how it is detected 
in a data set? This is when two photons or particles hit a detector at 
the same time and get counted as one particle/or photon. Is there a way 
to uncover this problem in a residuals analysis of the data distribution 
for example? Would appreciate an example notebook.

Thanks if you guys can help.
