yes they do, you can also use some mild ADC cuts. I have a suggestion. Why
don't you use this events to check your corrections and eventually retrofit
the worst parameters by hand ? We understand you can have background but
we don't care as long as it symmetric.

What about the self-timing peaks ? Do they move or was something
else moving in your tdc offset analysis ?
