Hi Chris and Carlos,

I ran a single pion (single track in an event) and noticed that the number of TPC clusters for a track per a TPC layer is ~5 as compare to ~1 before the change. I worry that this will generate a large number of ghost tracks.

Carlos, could you please take a look into it? 

Thanks,

Sookhyun

Please find more information on the TPC clusters generated from a single pion. Layer 7 is the first layer of the TPC.

Hi folks,

the tpc macro has been updated for the changes in the tpc clusterizer and the running time is back to normal. The code is back in and a build is ongoing (give it 30 minutes). Please pull the updated macro from github - or wait a really long time :)

Chris
