Average shot in the hard state; 36,895 2 s segments of data surrounding the bins that triggered the detection algorithm were averaged. Note that the peak bin is at the top of the panel. Its value is artificially raised by a selection effect in the detection routine: since the detected peak was always a local maximum, bins with positive Poisson fluctuations are preferentially selected.
