Thesis: Electron track reconstruction in the ATLAS experiment

Download: the whole thing thing (~3.1M), or by parts (all g-zipped postscript):

Intro stuff: front matter, abstract, table of contents and preface

Context: description of the ATLAS experiment and role of electrons in ATLAS physics

Test beam of a prototype SCT module equipped with an analogue read out chip SCTA128

Electron track reconstruction: a detailed study of bremsstrahlung properties in the ATLAS detector followed by a description of the reconstruction algorithm and its benchmarks for single electrons, for rejection against pions and in the presence of b-jets and high-luminosity pile-up.

Applications of the algorithm: benchmarks of the algorithm with respect to B->J/Psi->2e, Z->ee and H->4e processes
