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.
