CDC Track Finding

Single π⁺ Track

Single π⁺ Reconstruction: Current (Trunk) Code, trackeff_hists plugin

• The below plots show the track reconstruction efficiency and resolution for the trunk using the single-track scripts plugin (trackeff_hists).
• However, this efficiency is extremely misleading:
  • If a track is reconstructed using any of the hits that were on the thrown track it is considered "found."
  • This is regardless of whether the reconstructed track momentum is anywhere close to the thrown values.

Time-Based Tracks (trackeff_hists plugin)

Momentum Resolution (trackeff_hists plugin)

Single π⁺ Reconstruction: Current (Trunk) Code, NEW trackeffv2 plugin

• The below plots show the track candidate and time-based track reconstruction efficiency for the trunk using a new plugin (trackeff_hists).
• This plugin compares matches all of the thrown and reconstructed particles in the event, and requires that their momentum be "close."
  • "Close" for track candidates is defined as: Δp/p < 20%, Δθ < 40 degrees, Δφ < 40 degrees, ΔVertex-Z < 1 km
    • For thrown tracks with θ < 5 degrees, there is no cut on Δφ
  • "Close" for time-based tracks is defined as: Δp/p < 10%, Δθ < 15 degrees, Δφ < 15 degrees, ΔVertex-Z < 10 cm

Track Candidates (trackeffv2 plugin)

Time-Based Tracks (trackeffv2 plugin)

• Note that the degradation of the efficiency at forward angles matches the track resolution plot in the previous section.
  • If I expand the requirements for the "Close" window, the efficiency increases, and the chosen parameters were somewhat arbitrary.

Single π⁺ Reconstruction: NEW Spiral Code

• The below plots show the track candidate and time-based track reconstruction efficiencies for the new spiral code, and their improvements over the current code.
• Note: The trackeffv2 plugin compares matches all of the thrown and reconstructed particles in the event, and requires that their momentum be "close."
  • "Close" for track candidates is defined as: Δp/p < 20%, Δθ < 40 degrees, Δφ < 40 degrees, ΔVertex-Z < 1 km
    • For thrown tracks with θ < 5 degrees, there is no cut on Δφ
  • "Close" for time-based tracks is defined as: Δp/p < 10%, Δθ < 15 degrees, Δφ < 15 degrees, ΔVertex-Z < 10 cm
