Event reconstruction and analysis in the CBM experiment — •Volker Friese — GSI Darmstadt

The Compressed Baronic Matter (CBM) experiment, being developed for operation at the future FAIR facility in Darmstadt, will investigate nuclear collisions at unprecedented interaction rates of up to 10 MHz, which will give access to extremly rare probes like charm production near threshold. Fast, efficient and precise algorithms for both online and offline reconstruction are required to achieve the physics goals of CBM. We will discuss the current approaches to various aspects of event reconstruction in CBM, such as track reconstruction in the main tracking system (STS), reconstruction of displaced vertices of open charm, pattern recognition in the RICH detector, and shower reconstruction in the EM calorimeter. Selected results of feasibility studies for physics observables based on these algorithms will be presented as well.
