Hi Tony, others

I have updated the slides to add the occupancy in the TPC using 'all hits' rather then 'hits above threshold'.

Rather than sending them by email, I have put them here: https://cernbox.cern.ch/index.php/s/bx0YJ5LRCgV2sif

I have not yet updated the occupancy with "all" hits for Christof files, because the jobs are still running.

Comments welcome

No, you did not miss anything. That all sounds good. 

Out of curiosity, is it easy to say what the occupancy would be without the threshold adc cut?

Thanks

Tony

Hi Tony,

Hits are TrkrHit(v1) from "trackbase". Only counted are those that have a charge (get_adc()) above threshold

My understanding (correct me if I am wrong) is that the max number of such hits per layer is NPHiBins x NZBins in this layer. Which would correspond to 100% occupancy. Did I miss something ?

Hi Hugo,

Question: what is the definition of a "hit"?

Thanks

Hi all,

Following up on a question from Christof last week, I looked into the
TPC occupancy in the newly 100kHz Pile-up Hijing files derived from the
ones produces by Chris.

The results are summarized in the file attached. And could be discussed
e.g in the next simulation and software meeting.

I wanted to post them early because as you will see the occupancies I
get with these new files are significantly smaller than those obtained
with older files from Christof, and I have not been able to find the
reason for this yet.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

(in particular: Christof, could you point me to the macros used to
generate/reconstruct the files at
"/sphenix/user/bogui/MacrosModular/macros/macros/g4simulations/clus_only/SvtxCluHijMBPu100_Mar20_1_*"
? that would help me debug further)
