Hi Rahul,

The Z-locations of the sensors of the 3 FST disks in simulation are z=140.0, 154.0, and 168.0 cm. Putting them at these locations allow a maximum distance among the stations and a full coverage for 2.5<eta<4 w.r.t. collisions at z=0cm.

I have to say that there may be a possibility to increase the distances among the disks to increase the level arm length and thus improve the tracking performance (but at the cost of losing full 3-silicon disk acceptance coverage). We will study this once Daniel’s new tracking code is fully ready.

Best,
Zhenyu

Hi Zhenyu,

I've a couple of conflicting numbers for spacing of FST discs in my models. Can you please send me the distance of all 3 planes from IR from your record. We are working on detail design and it will be good to have correct numbers so that we don't need to change it again.
