Radiator Comparison
method: likelihood on total charge averaged over 4 detectors
extrapolated to six layers
pion rejection of 100 achieved over large momentum range
little dependence on actual radiator producer

Improvement of -rejection
bi-dimensional likelihood analysis improves pion rejection
probability of finding largest cluster in a given time bin

-Rejection Using Neural Network
feed-forward neural network w. 15 input neurons
2 hidden layers
factor 3-7 improvement over LQX method
pion rejection of 200-500
![Page 11: The ALICE Transition Radiation Detector Design and Performance detector principle and overview results from testbeam measurements dE/dx transition](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56649d615503460f94a4356e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
-Rejection vs. incident angle
slight deterioration of pion rejection at small angles (0o-2o)
not frequent in ALICE space charge effects
diminish signal not included in
simulations low gas gain preferable

Resolution vs. Incident Angle
quantitative understanding of all resolution effects
significant improvement in position resolution with tail merging and tail cancellation
position resolution better than 300 m
angular resolution better than 0.8

Resolution vs. Signal-to-Noise
resolution better for pions at given S/N ratio
average signal larger for electrons
comparable resolution for electrons and pions
angular resolution smaller for electrons with radiator -> L-shell fluorescence
