| contents | Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are widely used as photon sensors for neutrino and dark matter detection. Accurate charge and time information extracted from PMT waveforms is crucial for event reconstruction. An algorithm based on deconvolution technology was proposed and applied to the reconstruction of PMT waveforms. This study further investigated the reliability of the deconvolution algorithm when handling a large charge dynamic range (0-200 photoelectrons), varying scintillation time profiles, and muon-induced large signals. Monte Carlo data confirmed that the deconvolution algorithm exhibits relatively stable reconstruction performance: the residual non-linearity of charge reconstruction is controlled to approximately 1\% over the range of 0 to 200 photoelectrons for various configurations of undershoots and scintillation time profiles, and the algorithm is capable of handling muon-induced large signals. |
