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

Fit results
Gas - Row sig_fix Neff  phi_0
P10 - row 4 0.1775 5.004 0.2320
P10 - row 5 0.1412 4.009 0.04758
P10 - row 6 0.1984 4.480 0.6939
ArCO2 - row 4 0.1724 7.682 0.6743
ArCO2 - row 5 0.1120 5.192 0.06879
ArCO2 - row 6 0.1685 5.641 -0.2943

Phi plots were fit to the function:sig(phi) = sqrt[sig_fix^2 + L^2*tan((phi+phi_0)^2)/(12*Neff)]

ArCO2
For P10 the amplitude ranges are:

  range mean
Low 0 - 60 42
Medium 60 - 100 78
High 100 - 1000 181
For ArCO2 the amplitude ranges are:

  range mean
Low 0 - 150 97
Medium 150 - 250 191
High 250 - 1000 383

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


Example of X Resolution
