Description

The Geant based ’Allpix’ tool can provide detailed simulation of testbeam setups and silicon sensors. It could therefore provide very interesting insights into sensors as well as the testbeam in general. In this presentation we discuss detalis and difficulties encountered during local installation and setup of the system, before a running version was obtained. Some preliminary results, such as Tot distributions and cluster size distri- butions are shown. Furthermore, using a provisional interface to the Bergen analysis program for efficiency measurements, a comparison is made with test beam data collected at CERN in September 2015. Here, special attention is made to selection criteria, such as window sizes around reconstructed tracks.
