Description

The new Muon Forward Tracker (MFT) is based on the Sillicon Pixel Detecto\ rs (SPD) technology and it has been installed in 2020 as part of the upgr\ ade of A Large Ion Collider (ALICE), one of the main LHC experiments. It \ aims at improving the vertexing capability of the apparatus in the forwar\ d pseudorapidity region. In this project, I implemented a new toy Monte C\ arlo simulation to help understanding the MFT acceptance and analyzing it\ s output. My results include the impact evaluation of individual SPDs and\ broader MFT regions with a physical interpretation.
