Impact parameter resolution is almost identical to the Technical Proposal. Slight improvement in the pt resolution due to the reduction of material budget.

N.B: The pt resolution degrades for higher pt tracks in the layout with one tracker layer less(this is not the case for impact parameter resolution).
