8. 9th October 2003James Loken – Oxford University8 X-ray Alignment  Current Methods  Simulation (of Hits)  HitToStrip  (real data could enter here)  StripToHit  Reconstruction (from Hits)  Analysis  Future  Incorporate Position and Tilt sensors  Diagnostic tools for Problem Solving  Calibration of X-ray Gun CopyHits (for debug)

9. 9th October 2003James Loken – Oxford University9 Simulation  Loop over all 12 z positions  Generate beams (2) at 201 phi values  Loop over barrels 3 – 6  Intersect beam with barrel radius  Find appropriate detector and intersect with beam  Write accurate strip hit (and gun pars) to hit list  Write modules hit to scan list

10. 9th October 2003James Loken – Oxford University10 HitToStrip  Read Scan list for modules hit  Read hit list for hit and gun pars  Generate 10K strips with Gaussian for r-phi and u/v-phi dets (beam 0.5 mrad x 20 mrad (?))  Add 20% (?) random background strips  Store as histogram  Save histograms (8) as root file  Repeat for each Scan (201 x 12)

11. 9th October 2003James Loken – Oxford University11 Module Strip Data

12. 9th October 2003James Loken – Oxford University12 StripToHit  Read Scan list for modules hit  Find Root file  Find Histogram for each module  Search histogram (in each half) for largest peak  Fit limited range around peak to Gaussian  Extract peak value as accurate hit  Write accurate strip hit (and gun pars) to hit list  Repeat for each module  Repeat for each Scan (201 x 12)

27. 9th October 2003James Loken – Oxford University27 Conclusions (Observations)  A good start has been made  But much work to be done  If the Hardware works well, the Software can extract good results  It’s worrying to wait until 2005 to test it  But we should get some test data sooner  A good Calibration of the Gun is needed
