Description

The tracking system of Belle II consists of a silicon vertex detector (VXD) and a cylindrical drift chamber (CDC), both operating in a magnetic field created by the main solenoid of 1.5 T and final focusing magnets. The experiment is taking data since 2019 with high-quality and stable tracking performance. We present the tracking-based calibration of the beams characteristics and their interaction region, which are critical for the many high-precision measurements in the physics program. We also discuss possible improvements in the silicon strip vertex detector track finding, exploiting Hough transformation instead of the current one.
