Description

Track reconstruction algorithm and its applications to the TRD and MUCH tracking detectors of the CBM experiment are described. The main components of the reconstruction package include track finding, fitting and propagation in the detector. The track finding algorithm is based on the track following method with branches. Track propagation algorithm takes into account inhomogeneous magnetic field and includes accurate calculation of multiple scattering and energy losses in the detector material. Track parameters and covariance matrices are estimated using the Kalman filter method. Developed software was included into the experiment software framework. Performance of the algorithm which shows its efficiency is presented
