BeamLine for pp500 from TPC Twist

The TPC Twist calibration involves using vertices reconstructed by the TPC, and the current practice is to compare the vertices re

Vetting the ideal simulations for TPC alignment studies

I wanted to be sure that the simulations we're making for TPC alignment residual studies was really doing what we want it to do...

 

Log files have this output:

Alignment residuals with ideal alignment vers. 2

 Now that we have figured out how to do simulations without hadronic processes (i.e.
