Delta rfi and delta fi (direction vector) as function of the magnetic field

The interpolated value to field 0 – removed later from

the ExB global fit – assumed misalignment error

Drift velocity – calibration strategy Options:

Goofie calibration + DCS values (T, P) - (ONLINE) Time dependence (Goofie) - to be corrected for the T and P at

TPC Space dependence DCS values (T,P) – linear fit Relative precision 0.05% (1 mm at vertex)

Laser Central electrode - (ONLINE) Space and time dependence of drift velocity Relative precision ~ 0.01 cm/250cm ~ 0.004 %

Calibration using tracks – (OFFLINE) Track crossing central electrode Reconstructed primary vertex position using the tracks from A

and C side of the TPC Relative precision ~ 2 mm / sqrt(Nevents)

ROC temperatures

Skirt temperatures

Drift calibration - CE

CE arrival time (in mm) as function of the global y Smaller effect as before – Smaller temperature gradient Some non-linearities visible

Drift calibration - CE

CE arrival time (in mm) as function of the global lx (after global y subtraction)

Drift calibration - CE

CE arrival time (in mm) as function of the pad phi position (after global y and local x subtraction)

Used as time 0 correction – z alignment in the current reconstruction

- the status of overlaps in the case of ideal, residual and full

misalignment ; - the status of survey, in particular the availability of alignment objects

generated from survey and if they have been tested (e.g. they are reliable

enough to be loaded into the OCDB for official use) ... and concerning

this I think you have only the alignment for the full TPC, which has

already been loaded into OCDBs.
