Track fitting by Kalman Filter method for a prototype cosmic ray muon detector

摘要

We have developed a track fitting procedure based on Kalman Filter techniquefor an Iron Calorimeter (ICAL) prototype detector when the detector is flushedwith single muon tracks. The relevant track parameters i.e., momentum,direction and charge are reconstructed and analyzed. This paper discusses thedesign of the prototype detector, its geometry simulation by Geant4, and thedetector response with the cosmic ray muons. Finally we show the resolution ofreconstructed momenta and also the charge identification efficiency of $\mu^+$and $\mu^-$ events in the magnetized ICAL.
