Description
The ATLAS Inner Detector is composed of a pixel detector (PIX), a silicon strip
detector (SCT) and a Transition radiation tracker (TRT). The goal of the algorithm
is to align the silicon based detectors (PIX and SCT) using a global fit of the
alignment constants. The total number of PIX and SCT silicon modules is about 35000,
leading to many challenges. The current presentation will focus on the infrastructure
of the processing part of the algorithm, leaving the technical issues related to the
solving of a system with large number of degrees of freedom to a separate
presentation. The main functionalities of the code will be presented and basic
analysis of test beam data and simulation will be shown. An alternative method is
also briefly discussed.
