Euler Angles

We can use the Euler angles to perform the rotations.

For the rotation about the y axis.

And the rotation about the z axis.

Transformation Matrix

The Euler angles can be applied using a transformation matrix

[math]\left( \begin{array}{ccc} \cos (\theta ) & 0 & -\sin (\theta ) \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ \sin (\theta ) & 0 & \cos (\theta ) \\ \end{array} \right).\left( \begin{array}{c} x \\ y \\ z \\ \end{array} \right)[/math][math]=\left( \begin{array}{c} x \cos (\theta )-z \sin (\theta ) \\ y \\ z \cos (\theta )+x \sin (\theta ) \\ \end{array} \right)[/math]

For event #29, in sector 3, the location of the first interaction is given by

Converting -25 degrees to radians, [math]\theta =-0.436332[/math] which is the rotation the detectors are rotated from the y axis.

[math]\left( \begin{array}{ccc} \cos (\theta ) & 0 & -\sin (\theta ) \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ \sin (\theta ) & 0 & \cos (\theta ) \\ \end{array} \right).\left( \begin{array}{c} -15.76 \\ 0 \\ 237.43 \\ \end{array} \right)[/math][math]=\left( \begin{array}{c} 86.0588 \\ 0. \\ 221.845 \\ \end{array} \right)[/math]

Finding [math]\phi =\frac{120\ 2 \pi }{360};[/math] since "sector -1" =3-1=2*60=120 degrees

[math]\left( \begin{array}{ccc} \cos (\phi ) & -\sin (\phi ) & 0 \\ \sin (\phi ) & \cos (\phi ) & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \\ \end{array} \right).\left( \begin{array}{c} 86.0588 \\ 0. \\ 221.845 \\ \end{array} \right)[/math][math]=\left( \begin{array}{c} -43.0294 \\ 74.5291 \\ 221.845 \\ \end{array} \right)[/math]

This shows how the coordinates are transformed and explains the validity of using the TBTracking information to obtain a phi angle in the lab frame.
