Abstract:Previous discussions of TPC r-phi resolution and noise effects with P10 are extended by considering ionization statistics and alternatives to the three-pad algorithm. Reasonable estimates of the required gas gain and obtainable resolution follow; these results are relevant to TPC calibration, tracking, and simulation efforts.
