Description
Summary:An object-oriented software description of the CSC Track-Finder has been written to exactly mimic the behavior of current prototypes. Using this package, the performance of the trigger has been simulated within the ORCA simulation framework to determine the transverse momentum resolution, trigger efficiency, and trigger rate. Degradation of the performance due to pile-up of minimum-bias collisions and neutron hits is also studied.
