  // Activity trigger sub-types:
  const unsigned int kColRCEHits = kActivity * kSubTypeOffset + 1;   // collection wire hits seen in an RCE
  const unsigned int kColAPAHits = kActivity * kSubTypeOffset + 2;   // collection wire hits seen in an APA
  const unsigned int kIndRCEHits = kActivity * kSubTypeOffset + 3;   // induction wire hits seen in an RCE
  const unsigned int kIndAPAHits = kActivity * kSubTypeOffset + 4;   // induction wire hits seen in an APA



  // Supernova sub-types:
  const unsigned int kSNeShort = kSNe * kSubTypeOffset + 1;   // quick core-collapse burst
  const unsigned int kSNeLong  = kSNe * kSubTypeOffset + 2;   // trigger from a long (~10 seconds) time window



  // Neutrino sub-types:
  const unsigned int kNuBeam  = kNu * kSubTypeOffset + 1;   // beam neutrino
  const unsigned int kNuAtmo  = kNu * kSubTypeOffset + 2;   // atmospheric neutrino
  const unsigned int kNuSolar = kNu * kSubTypeOffset + 3;   // solar neutrino



  // Nucleon sub-types:
  const unsigned int kProtonDecay = kNucleon * kSubTypeOffset + 1;   // proton decay
  const unsigned int kNNbar       = kNucleon * kSubTypeOffset + 2;   // n -> n-bar oscillations



  // Cosmic sub-types:
  const unsigned int kCosmicMu = kCosmic * kSubTypeOffset + 1;   // cosmic ray muon



  // Background sub-types:
  const unsigned int kGenRad = kBackground * kSubTypeOffset + 1;   // general radiological background event
  const unsigned int kAr39   = kBackground * kSubTypeOffset + 2;   // Ar39 decay
  const unsigned int kRadon  = kBackground * kSubTypeOffset + 3;   // Radon decay
