a) Distribution of the time difference between type III start and the proton release time derived from the VDA. With the arrows we denote the mean and maximum value of the distribution and with the horizontal lines we mark the errors as inferred from the Monte Carlo analysis. The solid lines show the distribution functions of the type III-proton release timings using all the events (black) and the separate cases of delayed (red) and simultaneous events (blue). b) Best-fit Gaussians of the type III-proton release timings mean and maximum values (black solid and dashed lines, respectively) are derived from the Monte Carlo analysis using all the events. The red and blue solid lines show the best-fit Gaussians to the distributions for the mean values of the simultaneous and delayed cases, respectively.
