50 @brief Base class for digitizers.
51
52 This class contains the procedures simulation ADC signal for the
53 Forward Multiplicity detector : Hits->Digits and Hits->SDigits
54
55 Digits consists of
56 - Detector #
57 - Ring ID
58 - Sector #
59 - Strip #
60 - ADC count in this channel
61
62 Summable digits consists of
63 - Detector #
64 - Ring ID
65 - Sector #
66 - Strip #
67 - Total energy deposited in the strip
68 - ADC count in this channel
69
70 As the Digits and SDigits have so much in common, the classes
71 AliFMDDigitizer and AliFMDSDigitizer are implemented via a base
72 class AliFMDBaseDigitizer.

85 These classes uses parameters fetched from the AliFMDParameters
86 manager.
87
88 The shaping function of the VA1 is generally given by
89 @f[
90 f(x) = A(1 - \exp(-Bx))
91 @f]
92 where A is the total charge collected in the pre-amp., and B is a
93 paramter that depends on the shaping time of the VA1 circut.
94
95 When simulating the shaping function of the VA1 pre-amp. chip, we
96 have to take into account, that the shaping function depends on
97 the previous value of read from the pre-amp.
98
99 That results in the following algorithm:
100 @code
101 last = 0;
102 for (i=0; i < n_pre_amp_charge; i++) {
103 charge = GetCharge(i);
104 if (last < charge)
105 f(t) = (charge - last) * (1 - exp(-B * t)) + last
106 else
107 f(t) = (last - charge) * exp(-B * t) + charge)
108 for (j=0; j < sample_rate; j++)
109 adc[j] = f(i / (# samples))
110 last = charge
111 }
112 @endcode
113 Here, the first loop is over all charges collected by the VA1
114 chip, and the @c sample_rate is how many times the ALTRO ADC
115 samples each of the 128 charges from the pre-amp.
116
117 The @c charge is the total charge @f$ Q@f$ collected by the VA1
118 pre-amplifier for a strip. @f$ Q@f$ is then given by
119 @f[
120 Q = \frac{E}{e}\frac{S}{r}
121 @f]
122 where @f$ E@f$ is the total energy deposited in a silicon strip,
123 @f$ R@f$ is the dynamic range of the VA1 pre-amp, @f$ e@f$ is the
124 energy deposited by a single MIP, and @f$ S@f$ ALTRO channel size
125 in each time step.
126
127 The energy deposited per MIP is given by
128 @f$
129 e = M \rho w
130 @f$
131 where @f$ M@f$ is the universal number
132 @f$ 1.664 \mbox{keV}\mbox{cm}^{2}\mbox{g}^{-1}@f$, @f$ \rho@f$ is
133 the density of silicon, and @f$ w@f$ is the depth of the silicon
134 sensor.
135
136 The final ADC count is given by
137 @f[
138 C' = C + P
139 @f]
140 where @f$ P@f$ is the (randomized) pedestal.
141
142 This class uses the class template AliFMDEdepMap to make an
143 internal cache of the energy deposted of the hits. The class
144 template is instantasized as
145
146 The first member of the values is the summed energy deposition in a
147 given strip, while the second member of the values is the number of
148 hits in a given strip. Using the second member, it's possible to
149 do some checks on just how many times a strip got hit, and what
150 kind of error we get in our reconstructed hits. Note, that this
151 information is currently not written to the digits tree. I think a
152 QA (Quality Assurance) digit tree is better suited for that task.
153 However, the information is there to be used in the future.
