19 @brief FMD Digitizers implementation
22 //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
24 // This class contains the procedures simulation ADC signal for the
25 // Forward Multiplicity detector : Hits->Digits and Hits->SDigits
32 // - ADC count in this channel
39 // - Total energy deposited in the strip
40 // - ADC count in this channel
42 // As the Digits and SDigits have so much in common, the classes
43 // AliFMDDigitizer and AliFMDSDigitizer are implemented via a base
44 // class AliFMDBaseDigitizer.

54 // | AliFMDDigitizer | | AliFMDSDigitizer |
55 // +-----------------+ +------------------+
57 // These classes has several paramters:
61 // (Only AliFMDDigitizer)
62 // Mean and width of the pedestal. The pedestal is simulated
63 // by a Guassian, but derived classes my override MakePedestal
64 // to simulate it differently (or pick it up from a database).
67 // The dymamic MIP range of the VA1_ALICE pre-amplifier chip
70 // The largest number plus one that can be stored in one
71 // channel in one time step in the ALTRO ADC chip.
74 // How many times the ALTRO ADC chip samples the VA1_ALICE
75 // pre-amplifier signal. The VA1_ALICE chip is read-out at
76 // 10MHz, while it's possible to drive the ALTRO chip at
77 // 25MHz. That means, that the ALTRO chip can have time to
78 // sample each VA1_ALICE signal up to 2 times. Although it's
79 // not certain this feature will be used in the production,
80 // we'd like have the option, and so it should be reflected in
84 // The shaping function of the VA1_ALICE is generally given by
86 // f(x) = A(1 - exp(-Bx))
88 // where A is the total charge collected in the pre-amp., and B is a
89 // paramter that depends on the shaping time of the VA1_ALICE circut.
91 // When simulating the shaping function of the VA1_ALICe
92 // pre-amp. chip, we have to take into account, that the shaping
93 // function depends on the previous value of read from the pre-amp.
95 // That results in the following algorithm:
98 // FOR charge IN pre-amp. charge train DO
99 // IF last < charge THEN
100 // f(t) = (charge - last) * (1 - exp(-B * t)) + last
102 // f(t) = (last - charge) * exp(-B * t) + charge)
104 // FOR i IN # samples DO
105 // adc_i = f(i / (# samples))
112 // pre-amp. charge train
113 // is a series of 128 charges read from the VA1_ALICE chip
116 // is the number of times the ALTRO ADC samples each of the 128
117 // charges from the pre-amp.
119 // Where Q is the total charge collected by the VA1_ALICE
120 // pre-amplifier. Q is then given by
126 // where E is the total energy deposited in a silicon strip, R is the
127 // dynamic range of the VA1_ALICE pre-amp (fVA1MipRange), e is the
128 // energy deposited by a single MIP, and S ALTRO channel size in each
129 // time step (fAltroChannelSize).
131 // The energy deposited per MIP is given by
135 // where M is the universal number 1.664, rho is the density of
136 // silicon, and w is the depth of the silicon sensor.
138 // The final ADC count is given by
142 // where P is the (randomized) pedestal (see MakePedestal)
144 // This class uses the class template AliFMDMap<Type> to make an
145 // internal cache of the energy deposted of the hits. The class
146 // template is instantasized as
148 // typedef AliFMDMap<std::pair<Float_t, UShort_t> > AliFMDEdepMap;
150 // The first member of the values is the summed energy deposition in a
151 // given strip, while the second member of the values is the number of
152 // hits in a given strip. Using the second member, it's possible to
153 // do some checks on just how many times a strip got hit, and what
154 // kind of error we get in our reconstructed hits. Note, that this
155 // information is currently not written to the digits tree. I think a
156 // QA (Quality Assurance) digit tree is better suited for that task.
157 // However, the information is there to be used in the future.
