sPHENIX tracking discussion

[Ross Corliss <ross.corliss AT stonybrook.edu>]

Dear Joe,

Looks good, reads well.  Consider dropping the 'however'?  I hope no readers would be surprised that reco is hard.  Perhaps that sentence could read:

The high luminosity provided by RHIC, large occupancies of heavy ion events, and streaming readout capabilities of the tracking system, produce a challenging data environment in which tracking must take place.

... or similar.

...and the grammar nitpick in me prefers 'continuous-readout' and 'micromegas-based' with hyphens, though I'll keep quiet if you prefer without.

Regards,

-Ross

Hi all,

 

Here’s an abstract for the tracking overview poster. Comments are welcome.

 

Joe Osborn

 

The sPHENIX detector at Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has a broad experimental QCD physics program focused on jets, their substructure, and open and closed heavy flavor production. To measure these observables, the sPHENIX tracking system is composed of a silicon vertex and strip detector, continuous readout time projection chamber, and micromegas based modules for calibration. Precise and efficient track reconstruction is required to achieve the sPHENIX science goals. However, due to the high luminosity provided by RHIC, large occupancies of heavy ion events, and streaming readout capabilities of the tracking system, charged particle reconstruction at sPHENIX is challenging. In this poster, we provide a general overview of the track reconstruction at sPHENIX and discuss its status utilizing the A Common Tracking Software package with the first data taking period of the sPHENIX experiment. Future track reconstruction plans as sPHENIX enters its primary data taking phase will also be discussed.
