     Hi,
    
     I've tried to calculate the drift velocities using the Fibers for TPM2.
    
     Drift Velocities in TPM2 can be calculated by
    DV =  Distance between two Fibers in TPM2 /
               Calculated Distance from tracks between two Fibers *
               Drift Velocity Used for the Analysis.
           =  5/(~4.7) * 1.6
    (See the attached Figure 1 for the distribution from a single run.)
    
    It seems that the velocities calculated using Fibers are higher
    (1.6-1.75) than the value we are currently using (1.6) for TPM2.
    The good news is Ramiro's  monitored values track the variations
    very well (with a scale factor).  (See Figure 2)
    
    The drift velocities in the plots were from the averaged
    contributions from the all rows used in the tracking since the
    Fiber positions were calculated from projected tracks.
    For the most of "good" runs we have (after run# 52XX,  including
    all high-pt runs),   the readout for the last two rows (19th, 20th)
    of TPM2 were moved to the 17th and 18th rows since we knew
    the variations of the rows were the most for the rows at the near
    gas in/outlets.  Due to the same reason, the 1st row of TPM2 was
    not included in the tracking also, even thought the row was read out.
