5. August, 7 ILC 5 The mean rate of energy-loss by ionization of relativistic charged particles (protons, alpha particles, atomic ions, but not electrons) in material they Traverse. Charged particles moving through matter interact with the electrons of atoms in the material, T max is the maximum kinetic energy imparted to a free Electron in a single collision The interaction excites or ionizes the atoms. This leads to an energy loss of the traveling particle which is function of β. Particles of the same Velocity have similar rates of energy loss. K=4π m e r e 2 c 2, where m e and r e are the mass and radius of the electron, c the light velocity Z,A are the atomic number and the atomic mass of the absorber, m e is the electron mass, c the speed of light, I the mean excitation energy(eV) δ(βγ) is the density effect correction Bethe-Block Equation

We want to find/ measure the trajectory of a particle in the Detector hence; we account for the energy loss in the material Velocity changes Direction changes Velocity unchanged Direction changes We realize that the Transport Model is better than the Helix, but in the material there are random. processes. which still are not accounted for, e.g. Bremstrahlung, Multiple Scattering, decays …

11. August, 7 ILC 11 Part 2- Description In order to be able to test the software for various detector setups while insuring the stability of the software, I developed a set of tests for the Kalman Filter. To make it simple and without any external input, from now on, I will be using the Helix as data on which to correct the particle trajectory at update.

16. August, 7 ILC 16 Kalman Filter Another Application The nonlinear problem of tracking and correcting the trajectory of a satellite over a time is difficult with the recognition of modeling errors and ground site radar tracking errors. an accurate modeling program with the fidelity to correct for any errors in orbital motion and predict the most accurate position at some future time is required. Here the correction of the trajectory of a satellite during its motion in space done using the Kalman Filter Multi-functional Transport Satellite

17. August, 7 ILC 17 RESULTS which FOLLOW The Following Results the Kalman Filter on 20 tracks at 2 different energies; The 20 tracks were obtained by smearing the hits of the Helix in a gaussian. - the trajectories of the particles are starting from an interaction point smeared in a gaussian

18. August, 7 ILC 18 Kalman Filter for 20 Muon Tracks- at 2 Energies - Data(Helix) x vs. y 0.5 GeV 5 GeV 0.5 GeV

19. August, 7 ILC 19 Kalman Filter at 5 GeV for 20 Muon Tracks- Data(Helix) dE/dx(Fe) in both planes y vs x (mm) z vs x (mm) 5 GeV

20. August, 7 ILC 20 Conclusion The helix was a good approximation for high momenta particles or low dE/dx materials. Applying the transport matrix alone, did take care of both the magnetic field effects and material effects through dE/dx and is a better approximation than the Helix. However other random effects are not accounted for, e.g. multiple-scattering, Bremsstrahlung… But we have shown that after the inclusion of the update one is able to correct the trajectory of the reconstructed track to fit the actual data and account for all the random processes.
