Matching problem for primary and secondary signals in dual-phase TPC detectors

Abstract: The problem of matching primary and secondary light signals, belonging to the same event, is presented in the context of dual-phase time projection chambers. In large-scale detectors, the secondary light emission could be delayed up to order of milliseconds, which, combined with high signal rates, could make the matching of the signals challenging. A possible approach is offered in the framework of the Stable Marriage and the College Admission problem, for both of which solutions are given by the Gale-Shapley algorithm.
