Tests and Results

 

This section describes our first attempts to measure the SLT segment finding performance. To determine the segment finding efficiency we have passed simulated NC, CC, and BG events through a parameterization of the FLT and our proposed segment finding algorithm. The found segments were accessed for their quality and then used to determine if a track could be found in the event. In addition, the times required to find the segments in an event were estimated by timing the segment finding code on a transputer. Studies of track finding and SLT efficiencies were beyond the scope of these tests and will be present in a future note.
