Detailed Description

Data related to recob::Hit associated with recob::Track.

The purpose is to collect several variables that do not work well alone inside track class and are related to 2D hits along the 3D trajectory. So in the first place it is the hit index along the trajectory. There is also dx associated to hit to help dE/dx calculations.

Please, add other variables that may fit here. One candidate is 3D position.

PLEASE, remember to add errors on values whenever this is possible to calculate.

The expected association takes the form of:

art::Assns<recob::Track, recob::Hit, recob::TrackHitMeta>

It is also expected and recommended practice to create the association list sorted by track, as in the one-to-many sequential association definition.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

recob::TrackHitMeta::TrackHitMeta ( )

default

Default needed by ROOT.

recob::TrackHitMeta::TrackHitMeta	(	unsigned int	idx,
		double	dx = `0.0`
	)

inline

Constructor with initialization.

Definition at line 50 of file TrackHitMeta.h.

51 : fIndex(idx), fDx(dx)

52 {}

recob::TrackHitMeta::fDx

double fDx

Stored dx size, in centimeters.

Definition: TrackHitMeta.h:72

recob::TrackHitMeta::fIndex

unsigned int fIndex

Stored index of the hit in the sequence.

Definition: TrackHitMeta.h:71

Member Function Documentation

double recob::TrackHitMeta::Dx ( ) const

inline

Length of the track segments associated with the 2D hit.

Returns: lenth of the track segments [cm]

The length is the sum of lengths of the two segments: half-distance to the next hit in the same plane and half-distance to the preceding hit in the same plane.

65 { return fDx; }

recob::TrackHitMeta::fDx

double fDx

Stored dx size, in centimeters.

Definition: TrackHitMeta.h:72

unsigned int recob::TrackHitMeta::Index ( ) const

inline

Hit index along the track trajectory.
