sPHENIX tracking discussion

[Anthony Frawley <frawley AT fsunuc.physics.fsu.edu>]

Hi Hugo,

The easiest way to do 3) is to edit a copy of the current alignment parameters file to change the TPOT values.

If you can download the CDB version that would be best.

Otherwise:

I am on an airplane right now, with close to useless internet speed, so I am working from memory, and the details here are approximate. 

Look in my directory 

/sphenix/user/frawley/production/macros/TrackingProduction/

There are some files "xxx_localAlignmentParamsFile.txt. The latest one is what is in the CDB. Copy that over to your working directory, rename it "localAlignmentParamsFile.txt" and edit the lines starting with TPOT hitsetkeys. The format is:

hitsetkey  dalpha dbeta  dgamma dx dy dz

in radians and mm.

Cheers

Tony

Joe, Christof, others,

1/ the CDB tag I use in the reconstruction macro is the one I got from Tony:


   // condition database
   Enable::CDB = true;
   rc->set_StringFlag("CDB_GLOBALTAG", "ProdA_2024");
   rc->set_uint64Flag("TIMESTAMP", 6);

   // tracking geometry
   std::string geofile =
CDBInterface::instance()->getUrl("Tracking_Geometry");
   auto ingeo = new Fun4AllRunNodeInputManager("GeoIn");
   ingeo->AddFile(geofile);
   se->registerInputManager(ingeo);

Is this the correct one ?

2/ to Christof: I have updated the slides I posted at
https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url="https%3A%2F%2Findico.bnl.gov%2Fevent%2F24192%2Fcontributions%2F95299%2Fattachments%2F56417%2F96569%2FTpcResiduals_hp.pdf&data=05%7C02%7Cfrawley%40fsunuc.physics.fsu.edu%7C4754271da8d24546ac3408dcb7d0d062%7Ca36450ebdb0642a78d1b026719f701e3%7C0%7C0%7C638587355126212973%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=WuPrR92EVWLfAWCAsBND1Wb6aLQ5o8Usew1IUDhLe0M%3D&reserved=0
to look in more detail at delta_phi vs layer with charge cut. This is in
slide 9.

There is a charge dependnece when getting near TPOT, and since each
charge tends to favor one sector rather than the other, this would point
to a sector dependent phi misalignment in TPOT, as you hinted during the
meeting.

3/ Any help about how to add per-layer delta phi (and delta_z) alignment
offsets via text file would be very appreciated ! (Tony ? Joe ?)

Best,


Hugo
