Samenvatting	Track reconstruction is the process of identifying and measuring the trajectories of charged particles through a detector, providing momentum and impact parameter information essential for particle identification, vertex reconstruction, and physics analysis in high-energy physics experiments.	Boosted Decision Trees (BDTs) are powerful multivariate classifiers used in particle physics to distinguish between different particle types based on detector signatures. By combining many weak decision trees through adaptive boosting, BDTs achieve superior discrimination power compared to simple cuts, enabling improved purity and efficiency in particle identification and background rejection.
