Alice-ITS week Review June 7 2002 2
Outline
• Geometry
• SPD
• SDD
• SSD
• General AliRoot status.
Alice-ITS week Review June 7 2002 3
Results of GeometryReview
• SPD: only briefly looked at.
• SDD: Geometry old but ok.
• SSD: Missing two Front end cards, end ladder elements, wrong Al cooling tubes, and kapton cables. Otherwise old geometry.
• End caps and services: Old course geometry otherwise ok.

Changes to GeantParameters
Sensitive Si Material -rays on, Ecut=70KeV
, Brems Ecut=70KeV
, Hadron Ecut=1MeV
None Sensitive Materials (Default Settings)
-rays off
• All Ecut=1.0MeV
For All Materials -rays on, Ecut=30KeV
-rays on, Ecut=30KeV
Ecut=1.0MeV
• Hadrons Ecut=30KeV
• Beam Pipe parameter no longer default but set like ITS.
• Added Region of interest cut to Merging.• Merging done using a TTask, and others coming.• Hits SDigits Digits can be done for all detectors at one time (or
soon will be).• Hits, SDigits, Digits, and RecPoints can be in different files.

General ITS Comments
• Fast-Point simulation getting more use than expected.
• We still need to improve, write, documentation.• Test Macros and the like are still not being
developed and disseminated.• We need to develop better simulations of Test
Beam setups, so that we can make even better comparisons with our simulations.
• ITS AlgorithmAlgorithm Review was missed. Needs to be rescheduled and presentations need improvement.

SPD related studies• Multiplicity Measurement studies.• Pseudorapidity distribution studies.• Vertex Reconstruction Studies.• SPD based Trigger studies.• SPD-ZDC Correlation studies.• SPD Occupancy studies.• SPD noise studies.• Still have Two available SPD simulations
– Bari-Salerno Model (Default).– Dubna Model.
Alice-ITS week Review June 7 2002 10
Remaining SPDProblems
• The Bari-Salerno model (FORTRAN version) is used by NA57.
• The number of single pixel clusters simulated is more than seen in the Test Beam data.
• The number of 2 and more wide pixels are greatly under predicted.
Bari-SalernoDubnaTest Beam
Alice-ITS week Review June 7 2002 11
Remaining SPDProblems cont.
• Adjusting parameter of the Dubna model can compensate a bit, but leads to unphysical diffusion parameters.
• Changes to the Bari-Salerno model would require similarly unphysical asymmetric coupling parameters.

SDDActivities
• Much work to try to speed up SDD detector simulation or at least move the slowest parts to SDigit creation.
Detector Sdigits Sec/evnt
Digits Sec/evnt
SPD 0.52 61.28
SDD (March) 114.92 46.96
SDD (new) 8.67 33.86
SSD 0.47 16.84
Based on3 p-p events
Alice-ITS week Review June 7 2002 13
SDD Timings
• The source of the slower SDD simulations are due to the need to have time correlated noise and so consequently use a FFT.
• The TPC, also should have time correlated noise, but have not implemented it yet. At present they are using Random Gaussian noise.
Alice-ITS week Review June 7 2002 14
SDD and Test Beams• Some minor discrepancies
in Anode resolution.• A systematic discrepancy in
Time resolution, may be due to a jittery start pulse in the Test Beam. Drift Path (mm)

Alice-ITS week Review June 7 2002 16
SSD Remaining problems
• SSD Reconstruction needs review.– Piort Skowronski’s reconstruction need
additional comments, to allow it to be maintained, and have it’s parameters reviewed.
– Alternative Ghost and overlaping tracks algorithm needs to be investigated.
– Ghost removal by tracking needs to be implemented.
Alice-ITS week Review June 7 2002 17
SSD Remaining problemscont.
• SSD Digit-ADC histogram has unexpected shape.– See
