Description
A future 10 TeV muon collider offers numerous exciting physics opportunities, the success of which depends on the ability to reconstruct charged particle trajectories, or tracks. The presence of beam-induced background (BIB), which results in a huge flux of tracker hits, poses a significant challenge to track reconstruction, especially to unconventional signatures such as those from slowly moving or displaced charged particles. Currently, track reconstruction in muon collider simulation is performed with A Common Tracking Software (ACTS): an experiment-independent tracking toolkit which uses a seeded Combinatorial Kalman Filter approach. Nominally, tracks are reconstructed starting from triplets of hits with a consistent trajectory and in time with a near speed-of-light particle, and sequentially fitted and extrapolated away from the interaction point toward additional compatible hits. This poster presents tracking studies of prompt Standard Model particles using the MAIA detector concept, the reconstruction of slowly moving charged particles using loosened timing constraints, and introduces future directions to further improve reconstruction of conventional and unconventional tracks.
