Nick Sinev19/07/2006, 13:55I am going to compare different track fitting algorithms and investigate factors limiting resolution of different track parameters in different areas of phase space (low Pt - high Pt, central-forward). Currently I have only 2 track fitting algorithms available in org.lcsim - simple circle fitter and weight matrix based (SLD-like) algorithm. I hope that Kalman filter based algorithm may be...Go to contribution page

Dr Fred Blanc (University of Colorado)19/07/2006, 14:10We 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...Go to contribution page

Richard Partridge (Off-White University)19/07/2006, 14:25One of the approaches to track finding in SiD is to identify track seeds in the silicon pixel vertex detector and then associate hits with the seeds in the silicon strip outer tracker. This talk describes tracking code developed in the org.lcsim framework that constructs track seeds from 3D hit measurements and verifies the presence of a track using the other layers of the tracker. ...Go to contribution page

Bruce Schumm19/07/2006, 14:40I will discuss results, progress, and open questions regarding the use of Tim Nelson's axial tracking algorithm to "clean up" the tracking by finding tracks that begin outside the reach of the vertex detector.Go to contribution page

Christian Hansen (University of Victoria)19/07/2006, 14:55The result of a TPC software meeting at DESY in June is being presented. Detailed common software standards were agreed upon in order to facilitate the exchange of code and data. A MarlinTPC package will be written into a central software repository at DESY.Go to contribution page

Joel Goldstein (RAL)19/07/2006, 15:10A package of vertex tools for use within exisiting ILC software frameworks is under development by the LCFI Collaboration. I will describe the features that this package will provide, and its current status.Go to contribution page

Tim Nelson (SLAC)20/07/2006, 08:30The SiD concept achieves the performance goals for tracking at the ILC with a novel, all-silicon tracker. This design relies upon new techniques in readout electronics and sensor design that must be successfully prototyped as a proof-of-principle. The current design will be described in detail and the status of efforts to prototype and test the critical components will be discussed.Go to contribution page

Keith Riles (University of Michigan)20/07/2006, 08:55Recent progress in tracker alignment R&D at Michigan will be reported. Dual-laser frequency scanning interferometery (FSI) has proven to work well in reducing systematic uncertainties due to temperature fluctuations which limit single-laser FSI measurements under realistic detector conditions. Results of several recent tests carried out to cross-check the precision of the dual-laser...Go to contribution page

Madhu Dixit (Carleton University)20/07/2006, 10:50The Micro Pattern Gas Detector (MPGD) readout TPC, proposed for the International Linear Collider (ILC), will have to measure 200 track points with a transverse resolution close to 100 microns. It will be difficult to meet the resolution goal with conventional MPGD readout techniques if 2 mm x 6 mm pads were used as was initially envisioned. Reducing the pad width to improve...Go to contribution page

Dan Peterson (Cornell University)20/07/2006, 11:10The Cornell/Purdue prototype TPC, first commissioned in December 2004, has an active area of 10cm square and a drift length of 64cm. The present readout includes 56 channels of 14 bit, 105 MHz, flash-ADCs. Revised readout pad boards, installed in March 2006, include a combination of 5mm and 2mm pads. Recent studies of various gas-amplification devices will be discussed. These include...Go to contribution page

Ron Settles (MPI Munich)20/07/2006, 11:50A Time Projection Chamber is being investigated as central tracker for the detector at the ILC. To provide a comparison and explore the potential improvements using Micro-Pattern Gas Detectors, Gas Electron Multipliers (GEM) and Micromegas (MM), compared with Multi-Wire Proportional Chambers, which have used up to now in TPCs, several small prototype chambers (diameter ca. 30cm) have...Go to contribution page
