Method of identification of rings in spectra from RICH detectors using a deconvolution-based pattern recognition algorithm

摘要

A new pattern recognition algorithm applied for determination of rings in two-dimensional spectra from RICH detectors is presented. The method is based on Gold's deconvolution algorithm. It enables one to concentrate the contents of one ring into a point located at its center. The algorithm is capable of identifying curves of any shape, even of an irregular one.
