Update on TRK services for the peacock layout, to better correspond to the engineering drawings:

  • place "tubes" for OT barrel services outside the ML "service tubes"
  • adjust radii and z positions for service disks and tubes
  • carbon support for ML barrel: radius is increased, z is extended to cover also the ML disks
  • add colors for services according to engineering drawings by Corrado

FT3 disks with staves:

  • reduce rMin and rMax of the TGeoTube "air envelopes", to avoid overlaps with other volumes
  • forbid crossing the rMax by ML and OT disks: cutStavesOnNominalRadius_outer set to true: this reduces the sensitive area of ML disks, but allows to avoid overlaps with surrounding services:

We will need to see how to increase the sensitive area of the ML disks (namely, to which extend we can violate the 35 cm constraint on disk rMax, without colliding with ML services).

Geometry was checked with the following command:

 o2-sim-serial-run5 -n 1 -g pythia8hi -m A3IP TRK FT3 TF3 --configKeyValues "TRKBase.layoutVD=kIRIS4;TRKBase.layoutMLOT=kSegmented;FT3Base.layoutFT3=kSegmentedStave;
IOTOFBase.segmentedInnerTOF=true;IOTOFBase.segmentedOuterTOF=true"

Remaining overlaps:
