Impact of Time-of-Flight Effect in TPC Vdrift on Track Reconstruction Accuracy

The Time-of-Flight effect in the TPC Vdrift affects track reconstruction accuracy as inner hits shift due to drift velocity. The resulting tracks may not point to the vertex but have a higher z-value due to effective track tilt, producing kink effects. Corrections are made through simulations, such as STI alignment processes to mitigate this impact.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Time-of-Flight effect in the TPC Vdrift • By the time a track traverses the TPC volume (~150cm, ~5ns) the inner hits will have moved due to TPC drift velocity (~50um/ns) • The tracker will reconstruct a track (red dotted) that will not point to vertex but higher z-value • If used in alignment this effective track tilt will produce an effect (kink) like the one we observe. • STI was correcting for this effect in our simulations
