    Dear Deviants,
    
    I looked at the plot referenced below, and redirected to this list (which I
    am not sure is the best one, but I suppose most interested people will see
    it here).
    My questions to Djamel:
    What vertex distribution did you use?
    Have you checked to see that the reconstructed tracks have the right sign
    momentum?
    It looks to me like the sharp edge at 20 is from high momentum tracks which
    are more or less parallel with the TPC edge, while the counts to the left of
    the gap could be the "wrong sign" momentum which still come through T2.
    This is, of course, just guesswork, but maybe worth looking into.   I would
    have waited until tomorrow and talked to Djam directly, but who knows...I
    might be at the hospital tomorrow morning...
    
    Best regards,
    Ian
    
    Hi all,
    
    I've made a quick simulation (single pion event) and used
    BrGeantToTpcTrackCandidate for T1 and T2. I checked the histograms and got
    a doubtful plot with T2 (T1 looks ok I think) :
    
    You can check the plot here:

    The simulation was using the TPC calibration parameters from run 5609. I
    could check the same histogram with real data but before the tracking was
    done. I could not do it after since the pad information is not propagated
    by default. Anyway, the real data didn't show this gap on the left side.
    
    Any idea why ? I suspect it comes from brag but TPC experts should
    comment.
    
    Djam
