Forwarding Cameron's query to the TPC list (not my area of expertise).

Hi Gene,

I have a quick question about the TPC and I thought you might be the one who would know. I’ve been looking into the dE/dx resolution of the TPC in order to try to estimate systematic uncertainties related to nsigma. I’ve found that it was established that the TPC dE/dx resolution is ~8% for pions, kaons, and protons, but is there any information on what the resolution would be in fixed target mode? Would it be safe to assume 8% in fixed target mode as well? I’m working on 2018 sqrt(s_NN) = 3.0 GeV specifically if that matters.

Thank you!
