In ALICE Run 3 Pb–Pb collisions, **occupancy** in the TPC refers to the contamination of an event’s TPC clusters by signals from other nearby collisions within the TPC drift time window.

More details on occupancy in Pb-Pb can be found in the [report at the APW 2024](https://indico.cern.ch/event/1462154/#7-occupancy-effects), where the concepts and observations are explained (while some figures and indicated values might be outdated).

Tight cuts on occupancy improve quality (better S/B, cleaner PID, less bias in kinematics), but reduce event statistics.

However, sensitivity to the occupancy effects depends on analysis.

Therefore, the suggested approach is to study how results of a given analysi change as a function of occupancy: one may try several occupancy "bins", e.g. `[0,500), (500, 1000), (1000-2000), (2000-4000)`, etc.,

and, in addition, apply occupancy selection bits, e.g. `kNoCollInTimeRangeNarrow` to eliminate the bc-collision mismatches, or `kNoCollInTimeRangeStandard` to make a further cleaunup.

Note that TPC-related occupancy effects are most pronounced in Pb–Pb runs, however, the tools described above can also be used for occupancy studies in pp and light-ion runs.
