Reconstruction Methodology and Analysis Framework for SBS Experiments
ORAL
Abstract
Starting from Fall 2021 up until Spring 2024, the schedule of Jefferson Lab's experimental Hall A is filled with the Super BigBite Spectrometer (SBS) collaboration experiments. The BigBite spectrometer and the Super BigBite spectrometer were built exclusively for the SBS experiments to detect scattered electrons and hadrons, respectively. A major portion of the detector R$\&$D was focused on building several layers of world's largest Gas Electron Multipliers (GEMs), which are being used in both the spectrometers for high precision tracking. Entirely new spectrometers, multiple GEM layers with active area up to $60$x$200\,\,\text{cm}^2$, and very high luminosity of SBS experiments ($\approx 10^{38}\,\,\text{cm}^{-2}\text{s}^{-1}$) make tracking and reconstruction very challenging. In this presentation, I will give an overview of the reconstruction machinery we use for SBS experiments and will also talk briefly about some of the biggest reconstruction and tracking related challenges we faced during SBS-$G_M^n$ run and how we handled them.
