This paper addresses the problem of parameter estimation for tracking charged particles. The adhoc techniques commonly used in high energy physics may not be sufficient to perform tracking in the complex background environment of future experiments, and algorithms based on modern signal processing may give interesting results. This paper describes a specific parameter estimation problem of a muon...
The problem of detecting muons in a particle detector is considered. The tracks of high momentum muons can be considered as straight lines, and thus well known techniques for line detection, such as the Hough transform, can be used. In this paper, we show that the Hough transform, which is commonly used in high energy physics, can be interpreted as an approximation of the generalized likelihood ration...
The new particle accelerators and detectors create a challenging processing environment, characterized by huge mass of recorded data of which only small part is of scientific interest. This paper addresses the problem of muon track identification in a cathode strip chamber (CSC), which is a part of the ATLAS detector. We suggest a new "detect-before-estimate" approach, which first detect...
