Drifting

Propagates ionisation electrons from their creation point to the anode plane, accounting for drift velocity, electron lifetime, and longitudinal/transverse diffusion.

Module to implement the propagation of the electrons towards the anode.

larndsim.drifting.drift(tracks)

This function takes as input an array of track segments and calculates the properties of the segments at the anode:

• z coordinate at the anode

• number of electrons taking into account electron lifetime

• longitudinal diffusion

• transverse diffusion

• time of arrival at the anode

Parameters:

tracks (numpy.ndarray) – array containing the tracks segment information
