    Tracking detectors are designed to reconstruct the trajectories of charged particles as they traverse the tracking volume. Usually a magnetic field will be present in this volume. In this field, the trajectories will curve and we can reconstruct the momentum of the charged particles from the curvature of the track. From the direction of the curvature we can determine the sign of the charge of the particle.
