TPC speed upgrade 2022

 This page is setup to keep track of meetings documents for the task force work for the
tpc speed upgrade for runs 23-25.


Choosing an external resistance for an IFC short

Under:
It is clear that when a field cage short is close to the endcap, it is best to add an external resistance to compensate for the amount of the missing resistance from the short as that would restore th

Padrow 13 and Padrow 40 static distortions

Under:
These two distortion corrections focus on static non-uniformities in the electric field in the gating grid region of the TPC, radially between the inner and outer sectors.

 Using the code in StMagUtilities, these are maps of the GridLeak distortion.

Resistor box at the end of the Field Cage chain

Under:

 After ring 181, the potentials are determined by a box of resistors which sit outside the TPC.

SpaceCharge in dAu

Under:

In Run VIII, dAu data was acquired at high enough luminosities to worry about SpaceCharge (it was ignored previously in the Run III dAu data (2003)).
