Photon Reconstruction with ALICE's TPC in Run 3 — •Felix Schlepper for the ALICE Germany collaboration — Physikalisches Institut Heidelberg

In the upcoming ALICE Run 3 at CERN's LHC, the reconstruction of photons faces significant hurdles due to unconstrained tracks within the Time Projection Chamber (TPC) in continuous readout-mode. Due to their unconstrained nature these tracks produce large combinatorics, which is computationally very challenging. This talk delves into the challenges and solutions to reduce these combinatorics in the secondary vertexing and allow ALICE to reconstruct the vast majority of Photons.
