Description

Detector performance studies, which emphasise on spatial resolution and detector efficiency, require the generation of an external particle track to probe the detector under testing. The Artificial Retina method provides a set of weights for the cluster centroids, which reproduce the particle track, thus supporting the reconstruction of the particle track. A series of Monte-Carlo simulations have been conducted, which provide insight on the sub-processes and limitations of the Artificial Retina. Additionally, the method has been implemented on the analysis of test-beam data for the ATLAS New Small Wheel Micromegas detectors, which validates the method and its effectiveness.
