Abstract
The particle detectors at the future linear colliders, like ILD and SiD, use Particle Flow Algorithms (PFA)s to reach higher jet energy resolutions than the classical pure calorimetry. During the past few years, the University of Iowa group developed the Iowa PFA. This algorithm has been used to benchmark the performance of the SiD detector for the Letter Of Intent of 2009. Recently, new strategies and techniques are included in the different parts of this algorithm in order to increase its performance. The latest improvements and results of the Iowa PFA will be discussed.
