“…The main objective is to obtain the first data on mean number of cc pairs produced in the full phase space in heavy ion collisions. To highlight the need for such measurements let us note that the theoretical predictions concerning cc production at top SPS energy differ by about two orders of magnitude [18]. Moreover, further new results will give us new insights on the collision energy and centrality dependence.…”

“…The inner tracking system (ITS) of ALICE [11] has been upgraded successfully in 2021 with this new technology and it is now the largest pixel detector ever built. The successful ALPIDE technology is also being used elsewhere in other experiments/facilities like LUXE [12], sPHENIX [13,14], DESY's beam-test facility [15], NA61/SHINE experiment [16],the CSES-2 satellite mission [17] in space, Proton Computed Tomography (pCT) [18,19], and more. However, despite its wide usage, the TCAD electric field map is not available to the community as it is under proprietary restriction.…”

Solid semiconductor sensors are used as detectors in high-energy physics experiments, in medical applications, in space missions and elsewhere. Minimal knowledge of the electric field inside the elementary cells of these sensors is highly important for their performance understanding. The field governs the charge propagation processes and ultimately determines the size and quality of the electronic signal of the cell. Hence, the simulation of these sensors as detectors in different analyses relies strongly on the field knowledge. For a certain voltage applied to the cell, the field depends on the specifics of the device's growth and fabrication. The information about these is often commercially protected or otherwise very difficult to encode in state-of-the-art technology computer-aided-design (TCAD) software. In this work, we show that by taking the top-down approach, combining public beam-test data and a very limited public TCAD knowledge, we are able to effectively approximate the 3D electric field function in the pixel cell of one important and widely used example, namely the ALPIDE sensor, for simulating the charge propagation processes. Despite its broad usage worldwide, the ALPIDE field is not available to the community. We provide an effective field function, that adequately describes the sensor behaviour without trying to reconstruct further details about the device or the details behind its processing. We comment on the process by which the effective field function is derived with the help of the Allpix2 software, and on how similar work can be performed for other devices, starting from the same grounds.
