Resolution vs. Drift
These plots are the same as the ones above, but not linearised.
X Resolution as Function of Amplitude
Each point contains approximately the same number of events.
See amplitude distribution
plot below.
Cuts: |phi| < 5, drift < 3
X Resolution as Function of phi
Resolution depending on phi. A higher (absolute) angle increases the track
angle effects and reduces resolution.
Track angle effect is smaller for wide pads since resolution improves with angle
in the center of the pad
Cuts: drift < 3 cm

Below are two graphs for ArCO2 that have the same amplitude ranges. The graph
on the left is the old method to determine resolution while the one on the
right is the new method.

The amplitude ranges are:
Low: 0 - 150
Medium: 150 - 250
High: > 250
