Dear Christof,

I would like to point out that the further out (close to the TPC) we put the barrels the less acceptance in pseudorapidity we get.

Right now in the INTT engineering drawings, the INTT outer barrel is at 12.676 cm(inner radius)/13.179 cm (outer radius), and this corresponds to the pseudorapidity is 0.91/0.88 (see attached document).

If we consider layer 2: 15.1183 and 15.6 this implies that the acceptance in pseudorapidity will decrease dramatically. This implies that part of the TPC acceptance will not be covered by the INTT acceptance!

Thanks.

Sincerely,
Rachid

Hi Mickey, 

I tested a INTT configuration with 2 layers, both with rphi resolution, i.e type 1 in Tony's nomenclature

with radii of:

layer 1: 12.676  and 13.179

layer 2: 15.1183 and 15.6

This gives the best performance for the extrapolation precision to the TPC I have seen so far. 

Would a configuration with layer positions in this ballpark be mechanically feasible?

If yes we will do more detailled studies with this setup file. 

Thanks for your input

Cheers

Hi Tony,

After talking to Rachid yesterday, I was about to send out exactly something like this.  I think this is useful because we’ll actually simulate positions that are close to final, rather than choosing a random radius.  

My only comment would be that you do need to have some sort of support structure to hold the detector in place, as well as install it.  Right now our solution is a rail system, and the outer limit available for the INTT is 15.7 cm.  Thus, within the current design limitations, the outermost layer would be

   type 0  - 15.0846

   type 1 -  15.1183

According to what I see, we should be able to push out the rails by 0.5 cm (Dan Cacace disagrees a little).  So if we can push out the rails by 0.5 cm, you can pick the next step out in the radial location.

Hi All,

I made a little macro to estimate the best sensor radius to use in the tracking macro to get close packing of the ladders. It prints this out as a function of the number of ladders in a layer. If you want to play with it, the macro is at:

/sphenix/user/frawley/macros_newTPC_june6/macros/macros/g4simulations/calculate_optimum_ladder_radii.C

The output is as follows, where I have indicated the  number of ladders presently used for the default configuration with an arrow. The number in parenthesis after the arrow is the radius presently used for the default configuration in the tracking macro. The radii from my macro are within about 0.02 cm for those cases.

Note that these are the radii that should be used for the inner sublayer of an overlapping pair of sublayers. The second overlapping layer should have the same number of ladders, and a radius larger by about 0.6 to 0.5 cm (decreasing a little as the layer radii increase).

Cheers

Tony
