The FTPC slow simulator is implemented in both STAF(fss) and ROOT(St_fss_Maker).

It was written in C++ by Wen Gong and is supported by Janet Seyboth and Holm Hümmler.

Its principles can be seen from Wen Gong's description of ftpcsim , an earlier, standalone version used for testing.

In the long run, the FTPC-group aims to replace fss with a new program derived from the Tpc Response Simulator, thus making full use of the object oriented framework.

The following is a visualization of the simulated raw data generated from a normally populated hijing event in one sector. The data has been transformed to the real x/y-coordinates in the chamber, in cm:
