Description

A Common Tracking Software (Acts) This project contains an experiment-
independent set of track reconstruction tools. The main philosophy is to
provide high-level track reconstruction modules that can be used for any
tracking detector. The description of the tracking detector's geometry
is optimized for efficient navigation and quick extrapolation of tracks.
Converters for several common geometry description languages exist.
Having a highly performant, yet largely customizable implementation of
track reconstruction algorithms was a primary objective for the design
of this toolset. Additionally, the applicability to real-life HEP
experiments plays major role in the development process. Apart from
algorithmic code, this project also provides an event data model for the
description of track parameters and measurements. Key features of this
project include: tracking geometry description which can be constructed
from TGeo, DD4Hep, or GDML input, simple and efficient event data model,
performant and highly flexible algorithms for track propagation and
fitting, basic seed finding algorithms.
