Abstract
The PANDA-Experiment at the future FAIR facility in Darmstadt will study antiproton-proton collisions in a fixed-target setup with a phase-space cooled antiproton beam with a momentum from 1.5 to 15 GeV/c at a nominal interaction rate of 2 · 107 s−1. The data acquisition of the detectors has to run in a triggerless mode and the physics events of interest are identified by an online event filter. Tracking information is a key input for the event filter to distinguish signal events from background. A variety of tracking algorithms is foreseen to process the different track topologies. The so-called Triplet Finder, which is presented here, is a track finding algorithm based on the central straw tube tracker (STT) of PANDA. The algorithm focuses on mathematical simplicity and robustness to allow an online processing of the incoming detector hits. The algorithm and results of a proof-of-concept implementation are presented.
