An inner tracking system (ITS) based on silicon pixel sensors is currently considered as one of the possible MPD upgrade steps. The main purpose of the new detector is to provide a better precision of the primary and secondary vertex reconstruction and improve track reconstruction in MPD in the region close to the interaction point. To study the ITS performance a new track finding algorithm was developed, which better takes into account the new system’s advantages. In this paper the new algorithm is described and first results obtained on simulated data are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
