Notes on Vertex Reconstruction

Track requirements for vertex reconstruction: http://acode-browser2.usatlas.bnl.gov/lxr-rel20/source/atlas/InnerDetector/InDetExample/InDetRecExample/python/ConfiguredVertexingCuts.py#0020

Seeding When the Beam Spot is available then vertices are seeded using the ZScanSeedFinder. When no beam spot is available then the CrossDistancesSeedFinder is used. This is configured with the python flag "InDetFlags.doPrimaryVertex3DFinding()". If this is true, then the Cross Distances seed finder is setup,  otherwise, the ZScan seedfinder is used. This is configured in the job option: https://svnweb.cern.ch/trac/atlasoff/browser/InnerDetector/InDetExample/InDetRecExample/trunk/share/InDetRecLoadTools.py#L1410

The doPrimaryVertex3DFinding() flag itself is configured here:

http://acode-browser.usatlas.bnl.gov/lxr/source/atlas/InnerDetector/InDetExample/InDetRecExample/python/InDetJobProperties.py The 3DFinding flag is true by default, but if the flag InDetFlags.useBeamConstraint() is true, doPrimaryVertex3DFinding() is changed to false.

The useBeamConstraint() flag, in turn, is true by default, but set to false for certain processing streams in this script (it is set to false for the Express stream, for instance).

The vertex "finding" configuration: In pp running multiple vertices are allowed. All tracks are used to find as many vertex candidates as possible. In Heavy Ion running only one vertex is allowed-- a single candidate is formed from all tracks.

In the finder tool the beam spot constraint is applied: https://svnweb.cern.ch/trac/atlasoff/browser/InnerDetector/InDetRecTools/InDetPriVxFinderTool/tags/InDetPriVxFinderTool-02-01-05/src/InDetIterativePriVxFinderTool.cxx#L384

Fitting The standard proton-proton PV reconstruction uses the Adaptive Vertex Fitter It is a full Kalman filter with re-weighting. It gives high precision and high resolution, especially at low number of tracks. Requires more CPU time than e.g. the Heavy Ion Fast Billoir fitter. May not converge on a vertex with few thousands tracks within allowed number of iterations. (Info from kirill)

For HI running the FastBilloir fitter is used. "Moderate resolution at low number of tracks, linearization assumption applied on trajectories, very fast."

The formation of a single vertex candidate can happen via two methods: Heavy Ion uses: Chi2Method=1: All tracks incompatible with initial seed are rejected, the remaining tracks are fitted to a single vertex candidate, this candidate is returned to the user. Proton Proton uses:  Chi2Method=2: Tracks are removed one by one starting from the least compatible one. At each iteration the vertex candidate is re-fit and track compatibility is re-evaluated.
