Studies and developments on the fast track finding and track parameter determination for the forward region of the ZEUS detector; Untersuchungen und Entwicklungen zur schnellen Spurfindung und Spurparameterbstimmung fuer den Vorwaertsbereich des ZEUS-Detektors

Abstract

The ZEUS-detector at the HERA collider at DESY Hamburg contains 3 planar drift chambers in the proton beam direction. With these chambers spatial measurement of charged particle tracks in the polar angle range from 7deg up to 30deg is covered. Within the framework of this paper we first examine the mutual dependence of tracks and track parameters. Special attention is directed to the detector material and its influence via multiple scattering. Based on this experience a least-square algorithm is developed to link the planar information of the three twisted layers of each device to spacial information (segments). With a spline method, using segments of the two outer chambers for a prediction at the inner chamber, we then select good combinations, i.e. track candidates. A tabular method, as well as a fit is presented to estimate track parameters. Monte-Carlo examinations are carried out in order to evaluate time and multiplicity behaviour as well as resolution of reconstruction results. (orig.).

Zunaechst wurde, ausgehend von den Elementen (1-dim. Projektionen der Spur, erhalten aus den Driftzeiten), ein Verfahren nach der Methode der kleinsten Quadrate entwickelt um raeumliche lokale Spurstuecke (Segmente) zu erzeugen. Darauf aufbauend wurde ein Algoritmus erstellt, der die Segmente der einzelnen Kammern zu globalen Spurstuecken, sog. Spurkandidaten verbindet. Dazu wurde ein Spline-Verfahren entwickelt, bei dem die Segmente der planaren Driftkammern FTD1 und FTD3 der Spline definieren, und die Segmente der FTD2 dazu verwendet werden, die richtigen Spurkandidaten (d.h. Segmentkombinationen) herauszufiltern. (orig.).}
