Optimizing Momentum Resolution with a New Fitting Method for Silicon-Strip Detectors

Two new fitting methods are explored for momentum reconstruction. They give a substantial increase of momentum resolution compared to standard fit. The key point is the use of a different (realistic) probability distribution for each hit (heteroscedasticity). In the first fitting method an effective...
