Track Reconstruction at the LHCb Experiment

The LHCb experiment will perform high-precision measurements of CP violation parameters and rare phenomena in B meson decays. It requires an excellent track reconstruction efficiency, particle identification and the precise measurement of secondary vertex positions in LHC collisions. We will discuss the methodology for the global reconstruction of tracks, using the ensemble of tracking detectors arranged on both sides of the LHCb dipole magnet. Hardware features of the tracking detectors that affect the tracking strategy will be outlined. We will describe the design and performance of the track reconstruction algorithms.
