The TRTAlignAlgs package performs:
Global TRT-SCT alignment
TRT module alignment
Here we concentrate on the local alignment of the TRT modules.
Two degree of freedom considered:
Module translation along x
Module rotation around its axis
The method actually converges after few iterations
Rotation PatternRotation Pattern
It has been shown also that the TRT modules present an interesting rotation pattern
Rotation multiply by a factor 500
Module SplitModule Split
As a following step in understanding of the TRT module misalignment we spitted the residuals of each module in two, one for z>0 and the other for z<0 hits
In reality for cosmic data this was possible only for the top sector modules (bottom modules had only one side instrumented)
Using the alignment constants extracted from the whole-module residuals, we applied an extra iteration to the spitted modules
If the two modules sides are (mis)aligned in the same way this extra iteration should provide the same alignment constants of the whole module

Method Sensitivity Method Sensitivity
Before any conclusion we need to assess the sensitivity of our method
The error values we got are only statistical and they are known to be underestimated
As an alternative method to estimate our sensitivity we used two approaches: We applied the alignment constant extracted from one run to another run (independent sample) We applied our alignment procedure to a perfect aligned Monte Carlo sample
In the first case we assume that the misalignment of the detector didn’t change between the two runs and hence the constants from one run should be good for the other run
For the MC we assumed that it can reproduce fairly enough the data

In this case we used two different files, one with low statistic and the other with x3 statistic. In this way we also can have a feeling of the event number impact on our results

MC vs. DataMC vs. Data
Is the misalignment of a perfect aligned detector real ??
We compared the data (run 3007) and MC (nominal) residuals
We found that for the bottom modules they agree fairly well, but for the top modules the MC have wider residual distribution

We were able to access the survey measurement made n SR1 about the SCT position w.r.t. TRT. We don’t have the details about these measurements were made, we needed to guess

Q: How these survey data reconcile with the global TRT-SCT alignment costants implemented in TRTAlignAlgs (based on cosmic data tracks) ??
A: Not totally trivial to compare the two measurements, the data driven numbers depend on tracks direction as well. After some trigonometry the formula two compare the two is:
(dx)` = dx – dy/tg w
Where (dx)’ is the track based displacement and dx,dy is the survey based ones. The tracks angle is w (~ -1.92 rad)
Putting in the number we get:
(dx)` = -0.29 and (dphi)` = 0.000186
From TRTAlignAlgs:
(dx)` = -0.29025 and (dphi)` = 0.000276
