A Study on Cluster Resolution.ppt

* A Study on Cluster Resolution Neighborhood hit density gradients are proposed as a means for -- identifying cluster boundaries -- implementing a cluster split/merge strategy Relies on the inspection of “calorimeter domains” – collections of connected cells gang’ed as projective towers. Currently coded in “box form” ? ( n x m x l ) cells as segmented in (theta,phi,layer). A tool to be used as a sup- port to clustering algorithms. Equally applicable to both analogue and digital readouts. A.

Locate (4 x 4 x all) domain with highest energy (or #hits). Inspect neighborhood w/ grads; i.e. find (Rmin, Gmin) and (Rmax,Gmax). If Gmax k*Gmin, then a secondary cluster is declared found (currently using k = 2 ). Rmin Rmax determine a search area for “next-hottest” (4 x 4 x all) domain. Cross check that γ2 cluster also “sees” γ1 Use both sets of RG(min,max) to re-size clusters. γ1 search area for γ2 Cluster ID Calorimeter Domain Methods Rmin+1 Rmin Rmax Rmax + size Gmin Gmax A.
