We use the BlipFinder for three purposes: identifying the biggest Blip first, identifying if a Blip occurs near the biggest Blip in another iZip, and identifying the Blip that affects most the t0 energy measurement. Depending on the intended use we can select the detectors to consider (single detector, or multiple detectors). We can also consider searching in different time windows (near t0, full window, or near the BlipFinder time of another detector), to look for the biggest Blip in a pulse, or the most offending Blip near a specific location in a narrow window (for example look for an offending Blip in one detector given the biggest Blip in another one). The BlipFinder is designed to identify Blips in a detector, or group of detectors, and works using a modified version of the optimal filter, with four assumptions about Blips. How does iZIP and HV benefit from blip finder algorithm? Why HV gives a better dark matter limit than iZIP even when they use the same algorithm? Explain with reasons.
