Reconstruction methods - P̄ANDA Focussing-Lightguide Disc DIRC

Abstract

The Focussing-Lightguide Disc DIRC will provide crucial Particle Identification (PID) information for the P̄ANDA experiment at FAIR, GSI. This detector presents a challenging environment for reconstruction due to the complexity of the expected hit patterns and the operating conditions of the P̄ANDA experiment. A discussion of possible methods to reconstruct PID from this detector is given here. Reconstruction software is currently under development. © 2009 IOP Publishing Ltd and SISSA.
