An extension of the Gluckstern formulas for multiple scattering: analytic expressions for track parameter resolution using optimum weights

Momentum, track angle and impact parameter resolution are key performance parameters that tracking detectors are optimised for. This report presents analytic expressions for the resolution of these parameters for equal and equidistant tracking layers. The expressions for the contribution from positi...

Sumario:Momentum, track angle and impact parameter resolution are key performance parameters that tracking detectors are optimised for. This report presents analytic expressions for the resolution of these parameters for equal and equidistant tracking layers. The expressions for the contribution from position resolution are based on the Gluckstern formulae and are well established. The expressions for the contribution from multiple scattering using optimum weights are discussed in detail.
