Impact of TPC Supersector Mis-alignment on HFT Tracking

There was some suspect that even there is a TPC mis-alignment, when tracking outside-in, the residual resolution is mostly dominated by the projection error, so the impact on the HFT tracking eff

Run12 Calibration: Triggering Options

 The "TriggerOptions" slides below show two options for event samples that we could use for calibration. Given this, it was requested that I split the Option 1 plots up by trigger.
