List of Tables

1. The sizes of the Inner Tracker chambers corresponding to the different parts of the HERA-B detector.
2. The configuration of the ITR tracking stations in 2002.
3. Parameters used for detector simulation.
4. Reconstruction efficiencies and clone/ghost rates obtained on simulated $J/\Psi \rightarrow \mu ^+\mu ^-$ events mixed with 2 superimposed inelastic events for CATS, RANGER and TEMA packages for realistic scenario.
5. Reconstruction efficiencies and clone/ghost rates obtained on simulated $J/\Psi \rightarrow \mu ^+\mu ^-$ events mixed with 5 superimposed inelastic events for CATS, RANGER, TEMA packages for realistic scenario.
6. Resolutions, pulls $P$ and mean length of reconstructed primary tracks.
7. Fractions of wrong L/R assignment in correctly reconstructed tracks.
