| + | End cap modules cannot be tilted around their transverse axis. This is an excerpt from the tkLayout paper: | ||
| + | |||
| + | Modules can be rotated around their longitudinal axis by a skew angle α. This effectively | ||
| + | increases the resolution seen by tracks by a factor cos(α), but, on the other hand, reduces the | ||
| + | φ-aperture by the same amount. | ||
| + | tkLayout also supports rotating barrel modules around their transverse axis by a tilt angle β, | ||
| + | in a layout called “tilted barrel” (see figure 6), where barrel modules are increasingly tilted the | ||
| + | further they are on the z axis (up to β = π/2 when they effectively become endcap modules). The | ||
| + | advantage of the tilted layout is that the modules’ aperture in θ (the angle relative to the beam | ||
| + | axis) is increased, so the number of modules to cover the same volume is reduced, to the benefit of | ||
| + | material amount and cost. | ||
