Multi-track reconstruction algorithms in the Mu2e experiment

Abstract

The Mu2e experiment, under construction at Fermilab, will search for the neutrino-less coherent µ−N → e−N conversion in the field of a 27 Al nucleus, a CLFV process. While the main goal of the experiment is to reconstruct the conversion electron, i.e., an event with a single track, there are motivations to develop an efficient tracking algorithm for reconstructing more simultaneous tracks. This could better constrain the background generated by p¯-annihilation in the Al target and search for Beyond the Standard Model processes. In this paper, we present the algorithms designed to reconstruct multi-particle events.
