low noise require existence of micro tracks on both sides ( base track ) high efficiency scan at lower PH threshold
Base Track Recognition
Low PH scan takes timerestricted scan in
position and in angle space
At least a micro track should be detected in one of 2 sides of a sheet by Normal PH scan.
The other side are checked with LOW PH threshold scan for its existence if it is not found by Normal PH scan
Idea for base track recognition in a plate
Algorithm for Point Scan
Input : position and angle of a track to be found
Scan on both surfaces with Normal PH threshold
A Base Track exists ?( allowed distortion < 50mrad )
A Micro Track exists in either side ?
Found
Not Found
Scan on the other side with LOW PH threshold
A Base Track exists ?( allowed distortion < 50mrad )

Plate to Plate Connection
1. A set of tracks to be followed are given.
2. Find alignment between plates• 200micron x 200micron area scan for DONUT• Choose 10 tracks among given tracks
and require >5 tracks to match
3. Check existence of all tracks• Connection judged at Z in the middle• Multiple candidates are kept
