I am performing at the Lovebytes Festial in Sheffield next month
here is the URL for the Festival...check it out:

also found this somewhere on the web:

Glitches due to ionizing radiation contribute significantly to the noise in
a measurement. In the in-flight performance specification of the detectors,
the noise from glitches that are either (1) too faint for detection by the
deglitching algorithms or (2) too strong for complete removal has been
included in the detector noise term.

High energy glitches can increase the signal of the detector for a duration
up to 10 sec. The present software removes these disturbances by applying a
deglitching algorithm at both the integration ramp level and signal level.
This method works for long staring observations, but for shorter
measurements (e.g. a chopper plateau or a raster map position) signal
deglitching does not work. In a raster with integration times of order 12
sec per position a high energy glitch may increase the signal of 1-2 pixels
of the final map, imitating a weak point source. Only by oversampling it is
possible to remove such spurious sources.
