Z Resolution as Function of Drift Distance

Row 4 black/white

Cuts: |phi| < 5

X Resolution as Function of Distance to Edge

Row 5 black/white

Row 6 black/white

These plots show how resolution depends on how far away the track is from the middle of the pad. Zero on the x axis corresponds to the middle of the pad.

For ArCO2 (blue) strong effect with wide pads; the resolution decreases rapidly for tracks more than 1mm from the edge.
For P10 (black) the resolution degrades slowly.

Cuts: |phi| < 5 deg drift < 3 cm


Row 6 (Wide Pads) only; Three Regions of Drift Distances

ArCO2 black/white
Cuts: |phi| < 5

P10

ArCO2
These plots show the distribution of x position calculated using data from row 6 only. In this case the center of the pad is 0.5.

Cuts are |phi| < 5,
amplitude < 50 (P10) or amplitude < 100 (ArCO2)

Reconstructed position of hits across pads (edge at 0 and 1, center at 0.5). 3 regions of drift distance, pad width: row 5: 2 mm; row 4: 2.5 mm; row 6: 3 mm. Fitted with a polynomial a0+a2*(x-0.5)**2 + bumpfraction*a0 in the center.
