ALICE 3 Tracker Endcaps

This is top page for the FT3 detector documentation.

Specific detector setup

Configuration of the endcap disks can be done by setting values for the FT3Base.layoutFT3 configurable, the available options are presented in the following Table:

Option	Comments
`kSegmented` (default)	Currently, only OT disks have realistic implementation, for ML - simple trapezoids
`kTrapezoidal`	Simple trapezoisal disks (in both ML and OT), with `FT3Base.nTrapezoidalSegments=32`
`kCylindrical`	Simplest possible disks as TGeoTubes (ML and OT), bad for ACTS (wrong digi due to polar coorinates on disk sides)

For example, a geometry with the endcaps-only can be obtained by

o2-sim-serial-run5 -n 1 -g pythia8hi -m FT3 \

--configKeyValues "FT3Base.layoutFT3=kTrapezoidal"
