Successful reconstruction of 2016 test beam data

Step-by-step guide enhances accessibility for beginners

Overview of post-reconstruction analysis methods

Abstract

EUTelescope is arguably the most used software to reconstruct tracks from telescope data. This guide explains how to install a version adapted for the reconstruction of ITk Strip test beam data. In this version, an example of such reconstruction with 2016 data is provided. In addition, this example will be explained step-by-step and a general overview of how to operate EUTelescope is given. It is also briefly explained how the post-reconstruction analysis has been performed. The aim of this guide is to be used a starting point for EUTelescope beginners in future test beam reconstruction and analysis works. It is focused on reconstruction for the ATLAS ITk Strip detector using a binary read-out.
