LHCb Velo - Module-42 (VL06R) Metrology Data Analysis

The measured x,y co-ordinates of 5 fiducials are mapped to the nominal
positions by minimising the differences in x,y of measured and nominal
points using three free parameters, x0, y0 and rotation angle Zrot:

Xm - ( Xn*cos(Zrot) - Yn*sin(Zrot) - x0 )
Ym - ( Xn*sin(Zrot) + Yn*cos(Zrot) - y0)

The measured x,y co-ordinates of 5 fiducials and 8 extra points are fitted to
a plane Z - Vy*X - Vx*Y - Z0 = 0 by minimising deviations in Z

Free parameters are Vx, Vy and z-displacement Z0:

Min dz / Max dz / RMS mean / are about the mean of the Z measurements (μm)

RMS plane is the rms variation in z about the fitted plane (μm)
