Simulation of TPC Drift

The animation is large (~5MB) and may take some time to load.
Note:

Side view does not show all electrons. Those with vertical positions coinciding with the inner field cage are removed to improve clarity.
End view shows electrons and hits in both halves of the TPC.
Magnetic field, distortions, and dispersion are ignored.
Drift velocity of 5 cm/microsecond is assumed.
Events shown are not real.
