Description
The LHCb Tracking system consists of four major sub-detectors
and a dedicated magnet. A sequence of algorithms have been
developed to optimally exploit the capability of all tracking
sub-detects. Different configurations of the same algorithms
are used to reconstruct tracks at various stages of the trigger
system, in the standard offline pattern recognition and under
initial conditions of real data taking, which e.g. still
suffers from large misalignments. To scope with all the
corresponding requirements the algorithms have been designed to
be extremely flexible and simultaneously optimized on
efficiency, purity and CPU consumption. We will give an
overview of the LHCb tracking algorithms and report on their
performance base on the latest simulations, on cosmic data and
on data from beam injection tests.
