Forward Tracking Detectors

The FTD consists of a set of five silicon detectors placed along both z-directions. The geometry is described in the CDR summary. As for the VXD, the FTD hits are obtained by simple spatial smearing of the energy deposits. They are contained in the array FTDHITS in the routine GUTREV. As with all tracking detector hits they are included in the common /CHGTRAK/ described below.
