Distortion effects on padrow shape
Applying the following distortions:
StMagUtilities::CommonSta Using mode option 0xBA70 StMagUtilities::ReadField Reading Magnetic Field Measured Full Field, Scale factor = 1.000000 StMagUtilities::ReadField Filename is bfield_full_positive_2D.dat, Adjusted Scale factor = 1.000000 StMagUtilities::ReadField Version 2D Mag Field Distortions + Padrow 13 + Twist + Clock + IFCShift + SpaceChargeR2 + ShortedRing + 3DGridLeak StMagUtilities::ReadField Reading 2D Magnetic Field file: bfield_full_positive_2D.dat StMagUtilities::ReadField Reading 3D Magnetic Field file: bfield_full_positive_3D.dat StMagUtilities::ReadField Reading CM Electric Field Distortion File: membrane_efield.dat StMagUtilities::ReadField Reading Endcap Electric Field Distortion File: endcap_efield.dat StMagUtilities::BField = 4.9798 kGauss at (0,0,0) StMagUtilities::DriftVel = 5.54 cm/microsec StMagUtilities::TPC_Z0 = 208.7 cm StMagUtilities::TensorV1+V2 = 1.35 1.1 StMagUtilities::OmegaTau1+2 = -2.79246 -2.27534 StMagUtilities::XTWIST = -0.165 mrad StMagUtilities::YTWIST = 0.219 mrad StMagUtilities::SpaceCharge = 0 Coulombs/epsilon-nought StMagUtilities::SpaceChargeR2 = 0 Coulombs/epsilon-nought EWRatio = 1 StMagUtilities::IFCShift = 0.008 cm StMagUtilities::CathodeV = -27950 volts StMagUtilities::GG = -115 volts StMagUtilities::EastClock = 0 mrad StMagUtilities::WestClock = -0.43 mrad StMagUtilities::Side = Location of Short E=0 / W=1 StMagUtilities::Cage = Location of Short IFC = 0 / OFC = 1 StMagUtilities::Ring = Rings - Location of Short counting from the CM StMagUtilities::MissingOhms = MOhms Missing Resistance StMagUtilities::CompResistor = MOhm Compensating Resistor Value StMagUtilities::InnerGridLeak = 0 53 0 StMagUtilities::MiddlGridLeak = 15 121.8 3 StMagUtilities::OuterGridLeak = 0 195 0
(SpaceCharge is manually set to 0.01, but doesn't appear in the above output.)
I find the following altered padrow shapes for padrows 2, 12, 15, and 44. The colors represent z (purple is at z=200 cm, nearly no drift, and very little distortion, while red is at z=20 cm, nearly the full drift and most distorted). I have plotted points along the upper and lower padrow borders, as well as vertically along the left and right borders of a few pads across the padrow:
padrow 2:
padrow 12:
padrow 15:
padrow 44:

Next I plot the borders around pad 0 for each of these padrows, with the same z colors (left -> right, padrows 2,12,15,44):
Generally speaking, the distortions do little to change each pad from being describable as a parallelogram, and generally still as a rectangle.
