Description
The ALPHA-g experiment at CERN aims to test the fundamental symmetry between matter and antimatter by precisely measuring the effect of Earth's gravity on antihydrogen atoms. To achieve this goal, the experiment uses a radial Time Projection Chamber (rTPC) as the primary detector for particle tracking. The rTPC provides a high spatial resolution of the antihydrogen annihilation vertices, which is crucial for a measurement of the interaction between antimatter and Earth's gravitational field. This presentation will discuss a simulation study of the rTPC's performance, which aims to quantify its spatial resolution, efficiency, and response to various experimental parameters. The study highlights the essential role of simulations in understanding systematics for future precision measurements. Specifically, the results demonstrate the importance of simulation studies in optimizing the performance of the rTPC and lays the groundwork for future investigations of the detector's tracking and vertex reconstruction algorithms.
