Pattern Recognition - Theory and Practice
Speaker:Jakob Lettenbichler (HEPHY, Uni Wien)
Abstract:The primary goal of current particle physics experiments is to verify/disprove the Standard Model or to find hints for new theories. To be able to do that, a huge number of events has to be recorded and analyzed. Tracks and properties (momentum, type, location of production point (vertex)...) of particles have to be reconstructed from the recorded data to be able to analyze them for statistical deviations from the predictions of current models. A considerable background generated by several effects and geometrical limitations of the detector complicate the task of track reconstruction. In this talk the first step of pattern recognition, the track finding will be presented and explained using the upcoming Belle II - Silicon Vertex Detector at KEK (Japan) as an example. Several common and newer algorithms for that task will be briefly explained.
