Simulation of Pile-up Noise~23 minimum bias events per bunch crossing at L=1034 cm-2 s-1
LArg uses bipolar shaper for read-out

Simulation of Pile-up Noise~700 minimum bias events need to be added to signal events at high luminosity ( 30 BC’s)
For given cell type weigh energy according to shaper response for given timeRead minimum bias events via secondary stream
On the fly via direct access file which is kept in memoryAdd an additional simulation step (together with pile-up in all other detectors)
used to keep correlations between detectors Keep big number of min. bias events in
memoryCurrently done in Fortran, work ongoing to get it running in C++
