Multiple Scattering Error Propagation in Particle Track Reconstruction
نویسنده
چکیده
Particle track reconstruction capabilities of the silicon tracking detector system have been studied. As the multiple Coulomb scattering (MCS) induces unavoidable uncertainties on the coordinate measurement, the corresponding error estimates and the associated correlations have been used to find the best track fit parameters and their errors. Finally it permits to find the proper particle characteristics, as vertex position and resolution, flight direction and the error.

Track reconstruction in the MUCH and TRD detectors of CBM
In this contribution we present new developments and results for the LIT track reconstruction package for CBM in the CbmRoot framework. The reconstruction package is organized to be flexible with respect to feasibility studies of different physics channels and to optimization of the detector geometries. The tracking software has been redesigned to make it more general and to simplify the suppor...
متن کاملExplicit Covariance Matrix for Particle Measurement Precision
We derive explicit and precise formulae for 3 by 3 error matrix of particle transverse momentum, direction and impact parameter. The error matrix elements are expressed as functions of up to fourth order statistical moments of the measured coordinates. The formulae are valid for any curvature and track length in case of negligible multiple scattering. The calculation is compared with formulae d...
متن کاملA New Track Reconstruction Algorithm suitable for Parallel Pro- cessing based on Hit Triplets and Broken Lines
Track reconstruction in high track multiplicity environments at current and future high rate particle physics experiments is a big challenge and very time consuming. The search for track seeds and the fitting of track candidates are usually the most time consuming steps in the track reconstruction. Here, a new and fast track reconstruction method based on hit triplets is proposed which exploits...
متن کاملA novel String Banana Template Method for Tracks Reconstruction in High Multiplicity Events with significant Multiple Scattering and its Firmware Implementation
Novel String Banana Template Method (SBTM) for track reconstruction in difficult conditions is proposed and implemented for off-line analysis of relativistic heavy ion collision events. The main idea of the method is in use of features of ensembles of tracks selected by 3-fold coincidence. Two steps model of track is used: the first one – averaged over selected ensemble and the second – per eve...
متن کاملA new fast track-fit algorithm based on broken lines
The determination of the particle momentum in HEP tracking chambers requires a fit of a parametrization to the measured points. Various effects can result in deviations to the ideal helix curve in the magnetic field of a solenoid, and the fit with a pure helix parametrization is not optimal. One effect is multiple scattering, which causes a “random walk” of the particle and affects especially l...
