Just to add:
- with a beam larger than your detector you would expect many empty events - so that might be the reason for the peak.
- Your statement “[…] from the central pixel of the matrix (the one with the electrode on unit potential) […]” makes me think that there is some misinterpretation how the charge induction works. Maybe have a look at this thread here and check if that makes things more clear. TL;DR: the weighting potential is shifted around to calculate the induced current for all pixels, depending on your setting in the
TransientPropagation. - Could you maybe attach the full configuration file of the simulation for us to read?
- Which version of Allpix Squared are you using (output of
allpix --versionwould be very handy!)
