Current det sim numbers were set some time ago. Andy's talk has more up-to-date numbers from the test stand. Also I didn't realize that TMS won't have reflective fiber ends like Minerva. The det sim currently assumes it does with 95% reflectivity. It doesn't make a large difference as most light comes from the direct path rather than from reflections. See practice Andy's talk here

Andy pointed out that the number using test stand was using a 1cm scintillator. The scintillator in TMS is larger so that's why we have a larger number. So we don't think it needs to be changed. But the reflective ends still need to be removed

At the second set of TMS practice talks, there was discussion of attenuation length. Lengths of 2-3m were discussed, and 4.16m was considered too long. At the same time, this plot from Minos suggests had ~35% attenuation after 7m, implying an attenuation length of -7/ln(0.35)=6.7m. Iirc, I got my numbers from spec sheets based on what WSF we'll get. So we need to have another look at this
