Function for the wire number in the detector frame for change in [math]\displaystyle{ \phi }[/math] and constant [math]\displaystyle{ \theta }[/math] in the lab frame
Using the expression for wire number n in terms of [math]\displaystyle{ \theta }[/math] for the detector mid-plane where [math]\displaystyle{ \phi=0 }[/math]:
We can use the inverse of this function to find the neighboring wire's corresponding angle theta
We also know what the x' function must follow dependent on phi in the detector plane
| [math]\displaystyle{ x_{D1}=r_{D1}\ cos(\phi)\qquad y_{D1}=r_{D1}cos(\phi)\qquad z_{D1}=r_{D1} cot(\theta) }[/math] |
| [math]\displaystyle{ x_{D2}=r_{D2} cos(\phi)\qquad y_{D2}=r_{D2} sin(\phi)\qquad z_{D2}=r_{D2} cot(\theta) }[/math] |
| [math]\displaystyle{ x_P=\frac{2.53cos(\phi)}{(cot(\theta)+cos(\phi)cot(65^{\circ})} }[/math] |
| [math]\displaystyle{ y_P=\frac{2.53sin(\phi)}{(cot(\theta)+cos(\phi)cot(65^{\circ})} }[/math] |
| [math]\displaystyle{ z_P=\frac{2.53cot(\theta)}{(cot(\theta)+cos(\phi)cot(65^{\circ})} }[/math] |
We can take this point to be the x axis intercept and use the fact that each wire is titled by 6 degrees to the horizontal in the plane of the detector to create an equation
where the initial wire and x' position at the given theta is represented by [math]\displaystyle{ n_0 }[/math]
This equation can be solved for a hypothetical wire 0, which will allow the wire number to be the multiplicative factor for the change from the starting position.
Since each wire is separated by .01337 meters
Each wire becomes an equation of the form,
This agrees with CED simulation
