Description
We present tracking finding studies with the SODTracker package for the outer SiD
tracker, and track fitting studies using Kalman filter fitters. Based on seed
tracks found in the vertex tracker, the SODTracker uses an efficient propagation
algorithm to find tracks in the outer detector. For optimal resolution tracks need
to be fit with Kalman filter techniques, taking into account the presence of the
material along the particle trajectories. We describe the status of the development
of these packages, as well as results from performance studies.
