Global ID (gid)

Info

This page only illustrates the gid of each detector element. To convert gid to other information, please refer to Geometry.

To better locate each detector element, a global ID (gid) is defined. GID always starts from 0 and increases along the detector elements. The increasing order is described by a tuple-like structure.

For example, MDC gid can be described as (layer, wire), which means it increases first along the wire and then along the layer, as shown below:

layer wire gid
0 0 0
0 1 1
0 ... ...
1 0 40
1 1 41
... ... ...

There are 40 wires on layer-0 in MDC.

MDC

Range Increasing Order
0~6795 (layer, wire)

Same as BOSS

MDC gid is same as those given by MdcGeomSvc in BOSS

TOF

Range Increasing Order Part
0~95 (strip, end) Scint Endcap 0
96~447 (layer, phi, end) Scint Barrel
448~543 (phi, end) Scint Endcap 1
544~1407 (module, strip, end) MRPC Endcap 0
1408~2271 (module, strip, end) MRPC Endcap 1

EMC

Range Increasing Order Part
0~479 (theta, phi) Endcap 0
480~5759 (theta, phi) Barrel
5760~6239 (-theta, phi) Endcap 1

The concrete relationship between gid and (theta, phi) for EMC endcap 0 is:

Range Number of Crystals Theta Description
0~63 64 0 Innermost layer
64~127 64 1
128~207 80 2
208~287 80 3
288~383 96 4
384~479 96 5 Outermost layer

The concrete relationship between gid and (theta, phi) for EMC endcap 1 is:

Range Number of Crystals Theta Description
5760~5855 96 5 Outermost layer
5856~5951 96 4
5952~6031 80 3
6032~6111 80 2
6112~6175 64 1
6176~6239 64 0 Innermost layer

Same as BOSS

EMC gid is same as those given by EmcCalibSvc in BOSS
