### Optimized parameters

An optimized parametrization of the Massey model based on measurements with an infrared lased TCT setup is implemented in Allpix Squared, based on Table 2 of \[[@rd50ionization]\] with the values:

```math
\begin{aligned}
    A_{e} &= 1.186\times 10^{6} \,\text{/cm}\\
    C_{e} &= 1.020\times 10^{6} \,\text{V/cm}\\
