4. 4 Goals of Track Finding Efficient track finding, especially at low momentum (till Pt~50-60MeV) Nice momentum and vertex resolution Provide proper track parameters and also proper error matrices Easy calibration/alignment Easy to understand, to maintenance, to update Fast BESIII’s goal:

5. 5 Track Finding Algorithm Codes modified from Belle library. R-phi finding(2D) and z finding(3D) in algorithm viewpoint. Fig.2 : Flow of R-phi track finding.

6. 6 Fig.3 Conformal transformation. A circle which passes through the origin is transformed into a line.

7. 7 Fig.4 Conformal transformation. Circle M is a track in r-phi, and circle H is a drift circle. They are transformed into line N’P’ and circle G’.

8. 8 Fig.5 Six neighbor sense wires of the star sense wire. Partially solve LR ambiguity of hit wires using neighbor wires’ information. For the remained LR ambiguity, solve them in circle fit or s-z line fit. Segments are found with histogram of hit wires’ azimuthal angle, and linked from the outmost to the innermost with directions of segments. The method of segment linking can be improved with the drift circle in the conformal plane.
