Description

The Kalman Filter approach to fitting charged particle trajectories is widespread in modern complex tracking systems. At the same time, the global fit of the detector geometry using Newton-Raphson fitted tracks remains the baseline method to achieve efficient and reliable track-based alignment which is free from weak-mode biases affecting physics measurements. A brief reminder of the global least squares formalism for track-based alignment and how Kalman Filter fitted tracks can be equivalently used for the global fit as well as potential computational benefits and use of additional constraints will be reviewed.
