Abstract

Micro pattern gaseous detectors have been widely used in position measurements of particle detection in the last two decades. In this work a novel method of track identification and reconstruction was developed for fast neutron detection by MPGD, which in most cases requires a strong rejection of the gamma background. Based on this method, an online tracking system can be built in a FPGA-based Daq system to significantly improve both the capability of counting rate and the spatial resolution. This work also offers a potential usage in future hadron experiments such as SoLID spectrometer in Jeffereson Lab.
