✦ Synopsis
We have used a neural network (NN) technique for track reconstruction in a realistic environment. An algorithm based on an Hopfield-style recurrent NN was developed and tested on the track coordinates measured by the TPC of the ALEPH detector at LEP. The efficiency and time consumption are given and are compared with a conventional pattern-recognition method. The performance of the algorithm for large numbers of tracks (up to 200), as expected for LHC and SSC detectors, is discussed.

We performed several simulations with feed-forward neural networks using an idealized tracking apparatus with tracks invariant under translation and roto-translation transformations. Input information was provided to the networks without any preprocessing. We implemented 2 and 3 layer architectures
We developped neural-network learning techniques for the recognition of decays of charged tracks using a feed-forward network with error back-propagation. Two completely different methods are described in detail and their efficiencies for several NN architectures are compared with conventional metho
