Usability of the track reconstruction framework Corryvreckan for testbeam data and proton therapy — •Christopher Krause, Valerie Hohm, Jens Weingarten, and Kevin Kröninger — TU Dortmund, Dortmund, Deutschland
Pixel sensors with a high efficiency are necessary in the Inner Tracker of the ATLAS experiment for accurate track measurements and analysis. To measure the sensor’s efficiency, an electron beam at the testbeam facility at DESY is used for irradiation. The generic framework EUTelescope was used for track reconstruction in the last years.
A new track reconstruction software, Corryvreckan, was published in 2017 with the intention of equally good track reconstruction capability, while also reducing external dependencies. It bears great similarity in its modular structure with the simulation software Allpix2, creating a good compatibility between the two frameworks. The different implemented modules in Corryvreckan ensure its usability for track reconstruction and analysis in complex environments.
Further applications of track reconstruction with pixel sensors are investigated at TU Dortmund with regard to proton computed tomography. A comparison of reconstructed testbeam data with the EUTelescope and Corryvreckan software is presented in this talk, as well as the performance of Corryvreckan with low-energy protons used in proton therapy. The protons are simulated with Allpix2.
