3. About SAETAS
A SAETA (SmAllest sEt of daTA) is the basic unit of information
in the timtrack algorithm and in the TRASGOs concept
A SAETA contains 6 parameters defining a charged particle track
In a cartesian coordinate system:
- X0 and Y0: 2 coordinates at a reference plane
- X’ and Y’ : 2 projected slopes in planes x-z and y-z
- T0 : The time at the reference plane respect a reference time
- V : The velocity
Saeta: s = (X0,X’,Y0,Y’,T0,V)
Juan A. Garzón: 2nd. Workshop on the Trasgo Project. S. Compostela Feb. 5th-6th. 2010
4. About SAETAS
From the mathematical point of view will be better to use:
Saeta: s = (X0,X’,Y0,Y’,T0,1/Vz)
where:
V = Vz · Sqrt(1+X’2+Y’2)

6. About timtrack
TimTrack is the algorithm developed to estimate SAETAS
1. It is based on a Least Squares Method (LSM)
2. It works directly with the primary data provided by detectors:
- Coordinates:
- Times: it is assumed that:
all times are refered to a common t=0
(all detector are WELL synchronized)
3. It lets free the six elements of a saeta:
(X0, X’, Y0, Y’, T0 and 1/Vz)

- To apply to LSM method.

As K is definite positive, K has an inverse and:
This equation provides the saeta directly from the data

- Incertitudes can be easily calculated from the K matrix elements

24. About timtrack
Comments
- The method can be easily extended when there are correlations
between some of the measurements (e.G.: time readouts)
- Only two planes of strip-like detectors are enough to provide
unambiguously the 6 parameters of a saeta
- The solution has a matrix form: It’s very easy and fast of
implementing on computers
-There are many detector layouts with a K matrix having the
same structure (see next examples)

Comments
- The “problem” of the method is that there is an inversion of a
matrix. Sometimes it may give problems (when the matrix is not well
conditioned) but there are a lot of numerical methods to do it
(And it has to be done only once)
