Calorimeter Assisted Tracking Algorithm for SiD

Abstract

Calorimeter-assisted track finding algorithm takes advantage of the finely segmented electromagnetic calorimeter proposed for the SiD detector concept by looking for "MIP stubs" produced by charged particles in the calorimeter, and using them as seeds for pattern recognition in the tracker. The algorithm allows for efficient reconstruction of tracks that cannot be found using seeds provided by the vertex detector, even if standalone pattern recognition in the outer tracker is difficult. The algorithm has been implemented as a package in the org.lcsim framework. Current status of the package and its performance in non-prompt tracks reconstruction are described.
