摘要：

We present an expression for the covariance matrix of the set of state vectors describing a track fitted with a Kalman filter. We demonstrate that this expression facilitates the use of a Kalman filter track model in a minimum chi(2) algorithm for the alignment of tracking detectors. We also show that it allows to incorporate vertex constraints in such a procedure without refitting the tracks. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
