Track reconstruction is a vital aspect of High-Energy Physics (HEP) and plays a critical role in major experiments. In this study, we delve into unexplored avenues for particle track reconstruction and hit clustering. Firstly, we enhance the algorithmic design effort by utilising a simplified simulator (REDVID) to generate training data that is specifically composed for simplicity. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this data in guiding the development of optimal network architectures. Additionally, we investigate the application of image segmentation networks for this task, exploring their potential for accurate track reconstruction. Moreover, we approach the task from a different perspective by treating it as a hit sequence to track sequence translation problem. Specifically, we explore the utilisation of Transformer architectures for tracking purposes. Our preliminary findings are covered in detail. By considering this novel approach, we aim to uncover new insights and potential advancements in track reconstruction. This research sheds light on previously unexplored methods and provides valuable insights for the field of particle track reconstruction and hit clustering in HEP.

We have developed an efficient algorithm for the maximum likelihood joint tracking and association problem in a strong clutter for GMTI data. By using an iterative procedure of the dynamic logic process "from vague-to-crisp," the new tracker overcomes combinatorial complexity of tracking in highly-cluttered scenarios and results in a significant improvement in signal-to-clutter ratio.
