Optimized Integration of the Equations of Motion of a Particle in the HERA-B Magnet
Abstract
Description
In this note we present a flexible approach to perform the propagation of track parameters and their derivatives in an inhomogeneous magnetic field, keeping the computational effort small. We discuss also a Kalman filter implementation using this optimized computation of the derivatives.
