In preparation for the GlueX presentation at PAC 30, I have started looking at what kind of tracking resolutions can be obtained from the current GlueX track finding code. This is built on the earlier work documented in [GlueX Note 528] .
It is important to note that the goal of the code used here is to find tracks and give initial parameters for input to the final (Kalman) fitter. The final fitter is not yet written. Resolutions obtained from the simple helical fits of the track finder are useful for:
- Upper limits on tracking resolutions
- Resolutions seen by Level-3 trigger
Non-uniform B-field
One of the problems with the current tracking code is that it is not terribly accurate at determining the particle's momentum. This is because the fit is a pure helix and the momentum is derived from the radius of the helix and the theta angle.
