Decay Chain Fitting with a Kalman Filter
We present a method to perform a least squares fit of a decay chain involving multiple decay vertices. Our technique allows for the simultaneous extraction of decay time, position and momentum parameters and their uncertainties and correlations for all particles in a decay chain.
متن کاملCovariance Matrices for Track Fitting with the Kalman Filter
We present a simple and intuitive derivation of the track parameter covariance matrix due to multiple Coulomb scattering for use in track fitting with the Kalman filter. We derive all the covariance matrix elements for two experimentally relevant track parameterizations (i.e. x and y slopes and intercepts, and direction cosines and intercepts) in the presence of thin scatterers and absence of m...
متن کاملThe Kalman Filter Technique Applied to Track Fitting in Glast
Using the iterative property of the Kalman Filter technique an estimate of the track parameter resolution for the case of the GLAST design (straight line tracks and periodic hits measurements) has been computed at the vertex position.
متن کاملUsing the Extended Kalman Filter with a
The formulation of the extended Kalman lter for a multilayer nonlinear quasi-geostrophic ocean circulation model is discussed. The nonlinearity in the ocean model leads to an approxima-tive equation for error covariance propagation, where the transition matrix is dependent on the state trajectory. This nonlinearity complicates the dynamics of the error covariance propagation, and eeects which a...
متن کاملFitting Ellipses and Predicting Confidence Envelopes using a Bias Corrected Kalman Filter
We describe the use of the Kalman filter to find optimal fits to short sections of ellipse data and to predict confidence envelopes in order to facilitate search for further ellipse data. The extended Kalman filter in its usual form is shown not to reduce the well known bias to high curvature involved in least squares ellipse fitting. This problem is overcome by developing a linear bias correct...
