Track Reconstruction Performance in CMS
نویسنده
چکیده
The expected performance of track reconstruction with LHC events using the CMS silicon tracker is presented. Track finding and fitting is accomplished with Kalman Filter techniques that achieve efficiencies above 99% on single muons with pT >1 GeV/c. Difficulties arise in the context of standard LHC events with a high density of charged particles, where the rate of fake combinatorial tracks is very large for low pT tracks, and nuclear interactions in the tracker material reduce the tracking efficiency for charged hadrons. Recent improvements with the CMS track reconstruction now allow to efficiently reconstruct charged tracks with pT down to few hundred MeV/c and as few as three crossed layers, with a very small fake fraction, by making use of an optimal rejection of fake tracks in conjunction with an iterative tracking procedure.

متن کاملJet Reconstruction with charged tracks only in CMS
The performance of jet finding using only charged tracks in CMS has been investigated. Different jet algorithms have been applied to QCD di-jet events, to hadronic tt multi-jet events and on Z+jets events. Results using jets made with tracks only or calorimeter towers are compared for energy response, angular resolution and jet matching to the leading partons. The jet reconstruction performance...
متن کاملTracking in CMS: software framework and tracker performance
Tracking in LHC experiments requires reconstruction software that is able to deal with high hit multiplicity and complex detector geometry. The software framework should also be flexible enough to allow online event reconstruction and selection at high trigger levels. We present an object-oriented framework that fulfills these constraints. We describe two track reconstruction algorithms current...

The silicon pixel detector is the innermost component of the CMS tracking system, providing high precision space point measurements of charged particle trajectories. The current pixel detector is designed to operate at a maximum luminosity of 1 × 1034cm−2s−1. Before 2018 the instantaneous luminosity of the LHC is expected to reach 2 × 1034cm−2s−1, which will significantly increase the number of...
