\subsection{Event recognition and overlapping events}  Typical single photon events detected with the EBCCD at 8 kV acceleration voltage and maximum read-out gain are shown in Fig~\ref{fig1}. The central peak is high with small wings, and the events are wider in the horizontal direction.  Brighter, larger 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.These ion events can be easily discarded by the processing software by setting a maximum area for a photon event.  \begin{itemize}  \item Ion events
