\it Time over threshold
\it Relation between the time over threshold and signal amplitude. The relation between the signal amplitude and the deposited energy is linear.
Schematics of the experimental setup for the measurement of the ToT distribution for cosmic rays with Lead-glass block.
\it Single electron response function of the PMT
\it Shape of the output signal of the system Lead-Glass block - PMT without and with the addition of 300 $\mu$V noise.
\it Measured time over a 10 mV threshold distribution for cosmic rays from a Lead-Glass block.
\it Simulated time over 5 mV threshold distribution for cosmic rays with external noise with amplitude of 300 $\mu$V
Dependence of the inefficiency on the value of the hysteresis as function of the amplitude of the input noise. An efficient hit is defined if the first leading and trailing edge form time over threshold longer than 5 ns.
