Abstract

In this note, we propose an algorithm for fast and efficient track segment reconstruction in Cathode Strip Chambers used by the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment for muon detection in the forward direction. The algorithm is designed to be CPU-efficient and is targeted for High Level Trigger (HLT, online reconstructed events pre-selection) purposes. The segment finding efficiency and the spatial resolution attainable with the proposed algorithm as well as the required CPU time are benchmarked using the Cosmics Muon data and found to surpass the HLT requirements.
