\subsection{Event recognition and overlapping events}  Typical single photon events detected with the EBCCDat 8 kV acceleration voltage and maximum read-out gain  are shown in Fig~\ref{fig1}. Fig~\ref{fig1}c,d.  The central peak is high with small wings, and the events are wider in the horizontal direction. Brighter, larger ion  events are also detected, caused by a photoelectron hitting a gas molecule in the imperfect vacuum inside the EBCCD tube, leading to the gas molecule being ionised and accelerated towards the photocathode. photocathode (Fig~\ref{fig1}c,d, top). The data also contains some overlapping photons events (Fig~\ref{fig1}c,d, bottom left).  Ion The ion  events cause problems with event recognition algorithms that find a threshold for each frame separately, where separately;  the high brightness causes the threshold to be set too high and the photon events discarded as noise.
