Abstract
The Concurrent Track Evolution method, which was introduced in a previous paper (DESY 97-054), has been further explored by applying it to the propagation of track candidates into an inhomogeneous magnetic field volume equipped with tracking detectors, as is typical for forward B spectrometers like HERA-B or LHCb. Compared to the field-free case, the method was extended to three-dimensional propagation, with special measures necessary to achieve fast transport in the presence of a fast-varying magnetic field. The performance of the method is tested on HERA-B Monte Carlo events with full detector simulation and a realistic spectrometer geometry.
