Track Segments within Hadronic Showers using the CALICE AHCal

Abstract

Using the high granular CALICE analog hadron calorimeter (AHCal) a tracking algorithm capable of identifying MIP-like tracks within hadronic showers is presented. Such an algorithm provides excellent tools for detector calibration and for studies of the substructure of hadronic showers. The properties of the identified tracks are used as observables for a Monte-Carlo to data comparison.Comment: 6 pages, 9 figures, LCWS2010 Proceedin
