Distributions of shot widths. Shots have been characterized by their FWHM. This distribution may not show the shortest shots that triggered the detection routine due to the profile fitting some other feature present in the time surrounding the shot. Due to the bin and interval widths, times shorter than a few tens of milliseconds or longer than a second or two may not be meaningful.
