Fig. 2b: The resulting image on the right shows the interaction point, emission angle, and end of the track. Each circle has a size proportional to the deposited charge in each virtual pixel. Fig. 2a:The TPC forms an image by digitizing the signal on each anode strip. Signal proportional to the charge deposited on each strip are shown on the left. DST SERC EHEP SCHOOL (Nov 7-27, 2017)
