# ALICE 3 TOF system

This is top page for the TOF detector documentation.


## Specific detector setup


Configurables for various sub-detectors are presented in the following Table:

[link to definitions](./base/include/IOTOFBase/IOTOFBaseParam.h)

| Options | Choices | Comments |
| ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| `IOTOFBase.enableInnerTOF` | `true` (default), `false` | Enable inner TOF barrel layer |
| `IOTOFBase.enableOuterTOF` | `true` (default), `false` | Enable outer TOF barrel layer |
| `IOTOFBase.enableForwardTOF` | `true` (default), `false` | Enable forward TOF endcap |
| `IOTOFBase.enableBackwardTOF` | `true` (default), `false` | Enable backward TOF endcap |
| `IOTOFBase.segmentedInnerTOF` | `false` (default), `true` | Use segmented geometry for inner TOF |
| `IOTOFBase.segmentedOuterTOF` | `false` (default), `true` | Use segmented geometry for outer TOF |
| `IOTOFBase.detectorPattern` | ` ` (default), `v3b`, `v3b1a`, `v3b1b`, `v3b2a`, `v3b2b`, `v3b3` | Optional layout pattern |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |


For example, a geometry with fully cylindrical tracker barrel (for all layers in VD, ML and OT) can be obtained by
```bash
o2-sim-serial-run5 -n 1 -g pythia8hi -m A3IP TF3 \
--configKeyValues "IOTOFBase.detectorPattern=v3b1a;IOTOFBase.segmentedInnerTOF=true;IOTOFBase.segmentedOuterTOF=true;FT3Base.geoModel=1;FT3Base.nLayers=1;IOTOFBase.enableOuterTOF=false;IOTOFBase.enableBackwardTOF=false;IOTOFBase.enableForwardTOF=false;"
```

### Output of the simulation
The simulation will produce a `o2sim_Hits<DetID>.root` file with a tree with the hits related to that detector.
