ALICE 3 TOF system

This is top page for the TOF detector documentation.

Specific detector setup

Configurables for various sub-detectors are presented in the following Table:

link to definitions

Options Choices Comments
IOTOFBase.enableInnerTOF true (default), false Enable inner TOF barrel layer
IOTOFBase.enableOuterTOF true (default), false Enable outer TOF barrel layer
IOTOFBase.enableForwardTOF true (default), false Enable forward TOF endcap
IOTOFBase.enableBackwardTOF true (default), false Enable backward TOF endcap
IOTOFBase.segmentedInnerTOF false (default), true Use segmented geometry for inner TOF
IOTOFBase.segmentedOuterTOF false (default), true Use segmented geometry for outer TOF
IOTOFBase.detectorPattern (default), v3b, v3b1a, v3b1b, v3b2a, v3b2b, v3b3 Optional layout pattern
IOTOFBase.x2x0 0.02 (default) Chip thickness in fractions of the rad. lenght

For example, a geometry with fully cylindrical tracker barrel (for all layers in VD, ML and OT) can be obtained by

o2-sim-serial-run5 -n 1 -g pythia8hi -m A3IP  TF3 \
