Description
Run-2 of the LHC will provide new challenges to track and vertex
reconstruction with higher energies, denser jets and higher rates. In
addition, the Insertable B-layer (IBL) is a fourth pixel layer, which has
been inserted at the centre of ATLAS during the shutdown of the LHC. We
will discuss improvements to track reconstruction developed during the two
year shutdown of the LHC. These include novel techniques developed to
improve the performance in the dense cores of jets, optimisation for the
expected conditions, and a big software campaign which lead to more than a
factor of three decrease in the CPU time needed to process each recorded
event.
