Track reconstruction in the BESⅢ muon counter

The reconstruction algorithm for BESⅢ Muon Counter, MucRecAlg, is developed with the objectoriented language C＋＋ in BESⅢ offine software environment. MucRecAlg consists of the following functions：to find track seeds either from extrapolation of tracks in the main drift chamber or from the fired strips in muon counter, to select fired strips associated to the candidate tracks, to fit the candidate tracks with a linear or quadratic function and to calculate other parameters of the tracks for muon identification. Monte Carlo samples are generated to check the performance of the reconstruction package, such as reconstruction effciency, muon remaining rate and pion rejection rate, etc. The preliminary results show that the pion rejection rate is around 3%—4% while the muon remaining rate is better than 90% in 0.4—1.6 GeV/c momentum region, which meets the requirement as shown in the design report.     

Calibration of RPC-based muon detector at BESⅢ

The calibration algorithm for RPC-based muon detector at BESIII has been developed. The calibration method, calibration error and algorithm performance are studied. The primary results of efficiency and noise at layer, module and strip levels have been calibrated with cosmic ray data. The calibration constants are available for simulation and reconstruction tuning. The results of Monte Carlo and data are also compared to check the validation and reliability of the algorithm.     

Study of BESⅢ MUC offline software with cosmic-ray data

Cosmic-ray data of 90 M events have been collected and used for calibration,alignment as well as detector tuning. A special tracking algorithm for the BESⅢ muon counter is developed and verified with Monte-Carlo simulation and then further confirmed with the cosmic-ray data. The obtained strip resolutions are in good agreement with the design values. A new alignment approach for the BESⅢ muon counter is confirmed with the cosmic-ray data and proposed to be used in future analysis of experimental data.     

Software alignment of the BESⅢ main drift chamber using the Kalman Filter method

Software alignment is quite important for a tracking detector to reach its ultimate position accuracy and momentum resolution. We developed a new alignment algorithm for the BESⅢ Main Drift Chamber using the Kalman Filter method. Two different types of data which are helix tracks and straight tracks are used to test this algorithm, and the results show that the design and implementation is successful.

BESⅢ主漂移室径迹的外推和径迹匹配

BESⅢ主漂移室重建径迹的外推算法采用面向对象的设计方法, 利用GEANT4部分代码开发实现, 它提供主漂移室带电径迹外推到外部其他子探测器上的预期径迹信息. 该算法的外推过程考虑了带电径迹在磁场中的偏转以及与探测器物质相互作用造成的电离能损, 并为径迹参数计算考虑了库仑多次散射效应影响在内的参数误差矩阵. 经检查, 主漂移室径迹的外推结果和完全模拟结果一致, 并且径迹外推的结果能够成功用于各个子探测器测量径迹间的匹配, 这些工作为分析实验数据作了必要的准备, 能够满足BESⅢ实验的使用要求.
