Introduction
The goal of global tracking is to find and fit the tracks in a D0 event using event data from one or more of the D0 subdetectors. The input event data is a collection of clusters from each subdetector. The output is a collection of global tracks where each track contains a list of clusters and one or more kinematical fits based on this list. This page serves as the gateway for documentation of the D0 Run II global tracking software. It describes (or provides links to) the organization of the code and management and status of the project.

Tracking algorithms:
Currenlty GTR group supports and develops four tracking algorithms: road approach (default), histogramming method (HTF), elastic arms algrithms and random search in SMT. More information is available here.
