+\subsection{Space point resolution parameterization}\r
+\r
+The space point resolution is the function of many parameters but for the ALICE TPC the dominant one are the diffusion, track inclination angle and deposited charge.\r
+The space point resolution was extracted from the data in bins of these variables.\r
+\r
+In the first approximation the angular part and diffusion part are independent. The\r
+paramaterization is obtained fitting parameters $p_{0}$,$p_L$ and $p_A$\r
+\begin{eqnarray}\\r
+ \sigma^2_{{\rm{COG}}} \approx p^2_0+p^2_{L}L_{\rm{Drift}}+p^2_{A}\tan^2\alpha\r
+ \label{eqResCOG0} \r
+ \nonumber\\\r
+ p^2_L \approx \frac{\sigma^2_DG_{\rm{g}}}{N_{\rm{ch}}}\r
+ \nonumber\\\r
+ p^2_A \approx \frac{L_{\rm{pad}}^2G_{\rm{Lfactor}}}{N_{\rm{chprim}}} \r

+\r
+\r
+The TPC space resolution is scaling with the number of contributed electrons \r
+$N_{\rm{chprim}}$ and ${N_{\rm{ch}}}$, therefore is scaling with pad length.\r
+In ALICE TPC three different pad gemetries are used. \r
+The space point resolution was fitted for separatelly for each geometry. The fitted parameters $p_0$ $p_L$ and $p_A$ are shown in the table \ref{table:PointResolFitParam} rescaled with the pad length.\r
+\r
+\r
+\r
+The agreement between previously mentioned fit and the data is on thel level of the\r
+$\approx10-20\%$. In previous formula we assumed that all of the electrons created in ionization are contibuting to the measured signal. Because of the threshold effect the\r
+part of the signal is cut-off. The fraction of the signal bellow threshold is proportional to the response function witdth and is incresing with drift length and inclination angle. The following correction function are used: \r
+\begin{eqnarray}\\r
+ \nonumber\\\r
+ p_L \approx p_{L0}p_{LC}=p_{L0}(1+p_{L1}L_{\rm{Drift}}+p_{L2}\tan^2\alpha)\r
+ \nonumber\\\r
+ p_A \approx p_{A0}p_{AC}=p_{A0}(1+p_{A1}L_{\rm{Drift}}+p_{A2}\tan^2\alpha)\r
+\end{eqnarray}\r

+The measured reolution in Y and Z direction and corresponding fits are shown on picure \ref{figPointResolYDRTAN} and \ref{figPointResolZDRTAN}. The agrement with the data is on the level of about 2\%.\r
