Reconstruction of Tracks in a Detector on Drift Tubes and Chambers of the Modified FODS Spectrometer on the U-70 Accelerator Complex

Abstract

A procedure for finding the trajectories of charged particles on the FODS (focusing double-arm spectrometer) is described, which includes channel calibration (r(t)-dependence) of drift detectors for calculating the coordinates of particles and reconstruction of tracks. The organization of time measurements and construction of a least-squares functional on their basis is considered. The criteria for selecting candidates for the tracks are discussed. A procedure has been developed for obtaining geodesic corrections for drift chambers and tubes at the analysis of physical events. Accuracies of measuring the coordinates in drift chambers of 600 μm and chambers on drift tubes of 500 μm were obtained. The distribution of particle trajectories in the target is given.
