Outlook Outlook

• The second part of the study concerns Mip reconstructed directions

– consistency check

– correlation with the Mip segment length

– comparison to the Track directions

All plots refer to following cuts» TkrNumTracks = 1» CalMipNum > 0

Beware of different orientation for initial (Vtx) and final (Tkr) Track direction



ConclusionsConclusions

• Mip direction is well correlated to Track direction as expected

• We have still to understand better the peaks in the Mip Direction distributions (X,Y,Z)– maybe they reflect the Cal Layer geometry ?
