PPT Slide
Extrapolate from detector k-1 to k assuming no material interactions
- Can test this on simulated data
- Establishes the correct understanding of Kalman filtering
- Reveals bugs in the code
- Establishes the correct calculation of derivatives (transport matrix)
Calculate the amount of material between detector k-1 and detector k
- Need a fast technique: ie. a lookup table
Energy loss
- Effects the helix parameter K
- Correct the helix parameter K for the energy loss
-
Multiple scattering
- Does not modify the track parameters
- Modifies the elements of the covariance matrix
- Has been calculated for HEP experiments (careful about approximations)
