Kalman Filter based algorithms for PANDA@ FAIR — •Elisabetta Prencipe1, James Ritman1, and Johannes Rauch2 for the PANDA collaboration — 1IKP - Forschungszentrum Juelich — 2E18 - Technische Universität München
PANDA at the future FAIR facility in Darmstadt is an experiment with a cooled antiproton beam in a range between 1.5 and 15 GeV/c, allowing a wide physics program in nuclear and particle physics. High average reaction rates up to 2·107 interactions/s are expected. PANDA is the only experiment worldwide, which combines a solenoid field and a dipole field in an experiment with a fixed target topology. The tracking system must be able to reconstruct high momenta in the laboratory frame. The tracking system of PANDA involves the presence of a high performance silicon vertex detector, a GEM detector, a Straw-Tubes central tracker, a forward tracking system, and a luminosity monitor. The first three of those, are inserted in a solenoid homogeneous magnetic field (B=2T), the latter two are inside a dipole magnetic field (B=2Tm), The offline tracking algorithm is developed within the PandaRoot framework, which is a part of the FAIRRoot project. The algorithm is based on a tool containing the Kalman Filter equations and a deterministic annealing filter (GENFIT). The Kalman-Filter-based routines can perform extrapolations of track parameters and covariance matrices. In GENFIT2, the Runge-Kutta track representation is available. First results of an implementation of GENFIT2 in PandaRoot are presented. Resolutions and efficiencies for different beam momenta and different track hypotheses are shown.
