More timing corrections• Transit time along wire• Time of flight• Trigger time variations due to cable/electronics
variations for bottom scintillator layer
Previous corrections
• TDC card initialization offsets (12.5 ns)
• Clock (synchronization of scintillator and drift tubes)
• Transit of light along bottom scintillator

Old Track Fitting• Multilayer (4-tube) fits
– determine the most likely position of the trajectory relative to the drift tube wire (i.e. left or right)
– consider all 16 possibilities for each multilayer
– least squares straight line fit obtained for each possibility
– the fit with the smallest rms residual is kept
• Global 8-tube fit
– use left/right information from multilayer fits
– least squares 8-tube fit
• Global 6-tube fit
– reject two most poorly fit tubes from 8-tube fit (eliminates some delta rays, multiple scatters, small impact parameter fluctuations)
– least squares fit with remaining 6 tubes

Resolution Study• Use improved time-to-space function:
– add correction for large impact parameter– add corrections for layer-layer variation
• Select layer not used for track fit
• Best of 128 possibilities for 7 other layers
• Reject worst tube
• Best of 64 possibilities for 6 layers
• Compare fit position with excluded layer’s impact parameter
