The use of cluster quality for track fitting in the CSC detector
The new particle accelerators and its experiments create a challenging data
processing environment, characterized by large amount of data where only small
portion of it carry the expected new scientific information. Modern detectors,
such as the Cathode Strip Chamber (CSC), achieve high accuracy of coordinate
measurements (between 50 to 70 microns). However, heavy physical backgrounds
can decrease the accuracy significantly. In the presence of such background,
the charge induced over adjacent CSC strips (cluster) is different from the
ideal Matheison distribution. The traditional least squares method which takes
the same ideal position error for all clusters loses its optimal properties on
contaminated data. A new technique that calculates the cluster quality and uses
it to improve the track fitting results is suggested. The algorithm is applied
on test beam data, and its performance is compared to other fitting methods. It
is shown that the suggested algorithm improves the fitting performance
significantly.Comment: Proceedings of 2006 IEEE NSS, San Diego, California, USA, November
