Tpc alignment with Cosmic for Run X. Full matrix fit.

   I try to digest results obtained for Outer to Inner (sub) sector alignment using Cosmic data from run X (day 159). The method I have described in my previous post.

This is a continuation of the embadding vs. real NFit mismatch investigation.

possible Model of FGT quadrant in GSTAR

Work in progress... 

3 models of implementation of FGT quadrant in GSTAR are below.

Nfit vs. pT

 One of the proposed effects contributing to RT ticket 2106 is that Nfit changes naturally as a function of pT, so coarse

TPC Field Cage current change with luminosity

Alexei noted at a recent TPC meeting that he observed changes in the TPC field cage currents as a function of luminosity, and speculation in the TPC group was that charge created in the TPC structu
