Incline Tracks Theo Alexopoulos, George Iakovidis, Venetios Polychronakos 12 /10/2010 1

2 How well can we measure the incline tracks? How many micromegas planes do we need to achieve 1 mrad resolution? Use a toy Monte Carlo to study these questions. Parameters of the problem: Number of mm planes, N Distance between planes, L Singe hit resolution, Δx Angle of incline tracks, θ L L θ N=1 N=2 N=3

3 Ν = 2 L = 10 mm θ = 50 ο Δx offset = mm Δy offset = mm

4 Ν = 2 L = 100 mm θ = 50 ο Δx offset = mm Δy offset = mm

5 Ν = 3 L = 10 mm θ = 50 ο Δx offset = mm Δy offset = mm

6 Ν = 3 L = 100 mm θ = 50 ο Δx offset = mm Δy offset = mm

7 N=1 Ν=2, L=10mm Ν=3, L=10mm Ν=2, L=100mm Ν=3, L=100mm θ = 50 ο Δx offset = mm Δy offset = mm

8 Ν=2, L=10mm Ν=3, L=10mm Ν=2, L=100mm Ν=3, L=100mm θ = 30 ο Δx offset = mm Δy offset = mm

9 Ν=2, L=10mm Ν=3, L=10mm Ν=2, L=100mm Ν=3, L=100mm θ = 70 ο Δx offset = mm Δy offset = mm

10 Ν=2 Ν=2 Ν=3 Ν=3 θ = 50 ο smear = mm Δx offset = mm Δy offset = mm

11 Ν=2 Ν=2 Ν=3 Ν=3 θ = 50 ο smear = mm Δx offset = mm Δy offset = mm

12 Ν=2 Ν=2 Ν=3, L=100mm θ = 50 ο smear = mm Δy offset = mm Ν=2, L=100mm Ν=3, L=10mm Ν=2, L=10mm
