40. - the status of overlaps in the case of ideal, residual and full misalignment ; - the status of survey, in particular the availability of alignment objects generated from survey and if they have been tested (e.g. they are reliable enough to be loaded into the OCDB for official use)... and concerning this I think you have only the alignment for the full TPC, which has already been loaded into OCDBs.
