The algorithm consists of a hit merging and hit selection procedure followed by fitting steps for a track hypothesis and a point-like light source. It is particularly well-suited for real time applications such as online monitoring and fast triggering of optical follow-up observations for multi-messenger studies. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated with Monte Carlo simulations and various distributions are compared with that obtained in ANTARES data.", optnote="ISI:000289329100002", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=608), last updated on Thu, 09 Jul 2020 11:11:38 +0000", issn="0927-6505", doi="10.1016/j.astropartphys.2011.01.003", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1105.4116", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.astropartphys.2011.01.003", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1105.4116", language="English" }
