P14 Realignment

Draft D0 Note

D0 Note 4161 describing p14 tracker geometry change.

Overview

During testing of p14, it was discovered by Higgs group (Avto Kharchilava, Kazu Hanagaki, Marian Zdrazil, and others) that there was a curvature dependent phi asymmetry in E/p and Z mass. A B=0 special run was taken and used by Guennadi Borissov to realign the cft and smt. This greatly reduced the problem. Previous alignments had used curving tracks, which are not very sensitive to the type of misalignment that was present.
