Cellular automaton and elastic net for event reconstruction in the NEMO-2 experiment

A cellular automaton for track searching and an elastic net for charged particle trajectory fitting are presented. The advantages of the methods are: simplicity of the algorithms, fast and stable convergence to real tracks, and a reconstruction efficiency close to 100%. Demonstration programs are available at http://nuweb.jinr.dubna.su/LNP/NEMO using a Java enabled browser.
