Track reconstruction by GPU in 3D particle tracking detectors

Nuclear Track Detectors for Particle Searches

In this paper we report a search for intermediate mass magnetic monopoles and nuclearites using CR39 and Makrofol Nuclear Track Detectors (NTDs) of the SLIM large area experiment, 440 m exposed at the high altitude laboratory of Chacaltaya (Bolivia) and about 100 m at Koksil, Himalaya (Pakistan). We discuss the new chemical etching and improved analysis of the SLIM CR39 sheets. Preliminary limi...

3d Head Tracking by Particle Filters

In this paper, we propose a particle filter framework for 3D tracking of heads and faces in monocular video sequences. We propose two different approaches. The first approach utilizes a statistical facial texture model as an observation likelihood. The second approach utilizes a deterministic facial texture which is built on-line. The developed approaches have been successfully tested on severa...

GPU - based Particle Transport for PET Reconstruction

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...

Track reconstruction in the TRD and MuCh detectors

The successful application of the TRD tracking algorithms [1] lead to the idea to generalize and optimize those algorithms in a flexible way in order to make them applicable for other, similar detectors. In this contribution we present how this idea was realized and applied for the TRD layout optimization and for track finding in the MuCh detector. Since both tracking detector setups (TRD and M...
