Alignment channels positions


Eight tubes containing the alignment channels are housed inside inner cylinder of the TOB, from which the TIB is also supported with rails at phi=0 and phi=180.

The phi positions of such tubes are given below, in radians and degrees.

Table 1: Phi positions for the 8 alignment channels between TIB and TOB.
Channel #phi position (rad)phi position (deg)
1 ( 7/112) * 2pi 22.5
2 ( 23/112) * 2pi 73.92857
3 ( 33/112) * 2pi 106.07143
4 ( 49/112) * 2pi 157.5
5 ( 65/112) * 2pi 208.92857
6 ( 77/112) * 2pi 247.5
7 ( 93/112) * 2pi 298.92857
8 (103/112) * 2pi 331.07143

The TOB is rotated so that one of the "low" rods is centred in phi=7/112 * 2pi (= 22.5 degrees). All the rays hit TOB detectors in the fiducial region.

In the TIB, the detectors of the outer half of the 4th layer are centred in 1/112 * 2pi, 3/112 * 2pi, 5/112 * 2pi .... 111/112 * 2pi, so all detectors are hit in the centre of their active area.
