Tracking in the Dimuon spectrometer of the ALICE experiment

Description

To estimate the tracking performances of the Dimuon spectrometer, a chain of simulation and reconstruction programs has been developed. The study has concerned the track finding and the mass resolution as well as the acceptance of the spectrometer for the Φ's, J/ψ's and Υ's. With the proposed setup, a mass resolution below 100 MeV is obtained and a track finding efficiency better than 90% is achieved for the heavy resonance. An absolute acceptance of 5% is found which is acceptable in order to reach the required statistic for Υ' and Υ'' in Pb-Pb collisions. (authors)
