### Optimized parameters

An optimized parametrization of the Okuto-Crowell model based on measurements with an infrared lased TCT setup is implemented in Allpix Squared, based on Table 4 of \[[@rd50ionization]\] with the following parameter values:

```math
\begin{aligned}
    a_{300, e} &= 0.289 \,\text{/V}\\
    c_{e} &= 9.03\times 10^{-4}\\
    b_{300, e} &= 4.01\times 10^{5} \,\text{V/cm}\\
    d_{e} &= 1.11\times 10^{-3}\\
\\
    a_{300, h} &= 0.202 \,\text{/cm}\\
    c_{h} &= -2.20\times 10^{-3}\\

    d_{h} &= 8.25\times 10^{-4}\\

This model can be selected in the configuration file via the parameter `multiplication_model = "okuto_optimized"`.
