摘要
Tracking detectors in high-energy physics experiments require an accurate determination of a large number of alignment parameters in order to allow a precise reconstruction of tracks and vertices. In addition to the initial optical survey and corrections for electronics and mechanical effects the use of tracks in a special software alignment is essential. A number of different methods is in use, ranging from simple residual-based procedures to complex fitting systems with many thousands of parameters. The methods are reviewed with respect to their mathematical basis and accuracy, and to aspects of the practical realization. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
