CONCLUSIONS


In the table below are summarized the various tolerances. I reiterate that these apply if you want to preserve the option of efficiently extracting the vertex using no alignment calibrations.

-5% 0.08 mm 0.21 degrees 0.1 mm 9%
-10% 0.16 mm 0.42 degrees 0.2 mm 18%

As for the global positioning, the vertex finding algorithm has been upgraded so that is tolerant of lateral displacements of the MVD, relative to the mean beam position, of at least 3 mm. In addition, the algorithm is insensitive to small (at least 0.3 °) rotations of the MVD relative to the beam axis.This essentially removes global MVD mounting requirements.

(Link to updated CDR pages on alignment requirements with these new numbers.)
