Abstract
When the method for representing the track of an electron was discovered in a cloud chamber experiment in 1962, the track finding for the High Energy Physics (HEP) helped discover a new dimension for evaluating the data for tracking and identification of particles. The assessment of charged particle track findings have improved significantly. The method of the Hough Transform became an iconic method to trace and identify the pattern of the charged track in the HEP based on the evaluation of the track finding in the cloud chamber experiment. This thesis investigates a potential algorithm for detecting a mono-electron signal track after a muon stop for aluminium in the Cydet detector for the Phase-1 COMET experiment. The Circular Hough Transform can be used to detect the signature an electron curvature. The Phase-1 COMET experiment will look for the neutrino less decay of a muon into an electron when the muon is electromagnetically bound to an atomic nucleus. The Standard Model of particle physics forbids this
