Hello,

I find a conflict of geometry among the following detectors, as in attached picture.
detGeo.Add(new TObjString("GLAD"), new TObjString("glad_v13b.geo.root"));
detGeo.Add(new TObjString("CALIFA"), new TObjString("califa_17_v8.11_cc0.2.geo.root"));
detGeo.Add(new TObjString("STaRTrack"), new TObjString("startra_v16-300_2layers.geo.root"));

Could you tell me which detectors should be moved to simulate experiments with setup expected for 2018?

Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Anna

Hi Ana,

last time I was testing the CALIFA position, it was correctly located with respect to the nominal target position.
If this is true, the magnet is misplaced by around half a meter in this geometry file.

For a fast check to determine if CALIFA is correctly centered, you could find where the origin is in your plot or simply visualize a reaction vertex...
the CALIFA barrel should be located as it is in the attached picture (side view).
A displacement of half a meter as it is shown in your pic would mean that the vertex could be located outside the Barrel.

Regards,

Hello Anna,
here is my view of how to solve this problem: We used to have the target Position at x=0, y=0 and z=0 per Definition. The distance from the target position to the entrance flange of GLAD is 1062 mm. And Califa has also a nominal position relative to the target. If both are at this position there should be now overlap anymore.

Dear Hector and Michael,

Thank you for your replies.
In my understanding (see attachement) the GLAD position is such that the entrance flange is rather ~50 cm from the origin (target center), so it should be shifted downstream.
For information, the create_glad_geo file I used originally has DistanceToTarget = 350 (cm).

Best regards,
Anna
