Checking Ohm's Law with TPC current

We checked Ohm's law with TPC average currents in RunXI AuAu200GeV RFF dEdx calibration sample and it gives

geometry dev13

Speaker : jonathan


Talk time : 13:45, Duration : 00:20

Yesterday Jason added a "dev13" tag for us in the Agml geometry : it contains only the 2 pixel layers and no SSD, nor IST.

In this pdf we see the FGT as well the PIXL.
