Description
On behalf of the ATLAS Collaboration.
The ATLAS collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN intends
to study a variety of final states produced in proton-proton collisions
at the energy of 14 TeV. The precise reconstruction of trajectories of
charged and neutral particles including those which underwent decays
is crucial for many phycics analyses. In addition, a study of tracking
performance on the well-known benchmark channels will help
understanding the properties of ATLAS detectors during the initial
phase of the LHC. For instance, the investigation of correlations of
parameters of the final state tracks having the same mother particle
can help to correct for systematic effects in the alignment of the detector.
Described in this talk is the ATLAS framework for vertex reconstruction
with simultaneous application of kinematic constraints. The implementation
follows a very modular design based on object oriented C++.
A special emphasis is given on the use of the current approach in the
alignment of the ATLAS detector and the reconstruction of exclusive
decays.
