fivePoleFitTime()

float CSCFindPeakTime::fivePoleFitTime	(	int	tmax,
		const float *	adc,
		float	t_peak
	)

Based on RecoLocalMuon/CSCStandAlone/interface/PulseTime.h by S. Durkin, and ported by D. Fortin. Comments updated by Tim Cox Apr 2009.

The SCA pulse shape should be representable by a function
N*(p0^2/256/exp(-4)) * (t-t0)^4 * exp( -p0*(t-t0) )

Rather than do a full fit with varying peak time too, assume the peak time is fixed to 133 nsec w.r.t. start time, t0, and fit for t0. The fit uses a binary search in t0, and at each step calculates the overall normalization factor between the function and the SCA pulse height as a least-squares fit over the 4 time bins tmax -1, tmax, tmax+1, tmax+2

Note: t0peak =4/p0 = 133 nsec, and adc[0] is arbitrarily defined a time of 0.0 nsec.
