This image shows the VTX geometry as currently in CVS (see also
this page..
The outer barrel layers (green) and the first endcaps (red) almost touch, and
routing of cables and cooling services from these layers to the outside would be
problematic.
In Yellow is indicated the 'interaction diamond', at x=y=0 and z=+-10cm. From the endpoints of this diamond, lines are drawn indicating the acceptance of the
Muon arms in gray (12-35° and 10-35°) as well as of the central arms
in red (eta=+-0.35).
The outer barrel layers extend substantially outside of the central arm
acceptance. Here we
explore possible different arrangements of the barrel strip components such
that these integration issues can be ameliorated.
