Fermilab, 12-JUL-1995

Here are the minutes of what I presented at the e ID meeting, as best I
recall:

"Taylor Goss presented very preliminary results of using a simple TRD tracking
algorithm.  He used the cathode strip information on the DST's with a simple
energy-squared weighting algorithm developed by Armand Zylberstejn to track in
the r-z plane.  The cathodes are spaced ~1.5cm apart in z, giving a
theoretical resolution of ~1.5cm / sqrt(12).  Comparison to Z --> ee MC and 
W --> e nu data show that the method is achieving more like 1.5cm resolution,
but this is dominated by a strong systematic in z, of unknown origin.  Taylor 
also presented plots comparing the energy deposited in the anodes in Z --> ee 
MC and Run 1B DST data.  With tight quality cuts, good agreement was found for
a given multiplicity (i.e. one hit cell in a layer vs 2+ hit cells in a
layer), but the MC underestimated the event multiplicity in general."
