The reconstruction is implemented within the HPS Java project as a chain of org.lcsim Drivers (event processors) described by lcsim xml and run by the lcsim job manager. The EvioToLcio command line tool is used to convert the EVIO to LCIO events using an LCSimEventBuilder such as LCSimEngRunEventBuilder. The LCIO events are accessed in Java code through the EventHeader API. The Drivers add output collections to the event such as tracks, calorimeter clusters, reconstructed particles and vertices. The combined data/physics LCIO events are written out to an LCIO file, which can subsequently be converted to ROOT DST Data Format. The LCIO events may also be loaded back into the HPS Java environment for analysis.
These are the steps performed in reconstructing the data:
Steps 1-6 are typically performed in the same job using the EvioToLcio command line utility.
User analysis can be performed on the LCIO files using the job manager command line tool or within the ROOT environment using the DSTs.
The reconstruction Driver chain is defined in production steering files such as EngineeringRun2015FullRecon.lcsim, which are kept in this SVN folder and typically accessed as a class resource from a jar file.

The LCSimEventBuilder defines an interface for converting from EVIO to LCIO events, with the LCSimEngRunEventBuilder providing the current implementation of this conversion process. EVIO collections are processed by a reader which gets raw bank data and converts it into a typed LCIO collection.
SVT data banks are handled by an SvtEvioReader and converted into RawTrackerHit and GenericObject collections.
Various modes of EVIO ECal data are converted using the EcalEvioReader.
The default builder will also convert and write DAQ config information, EPICS data, and scaler bank data into the output LCSim events, if these banks are present in the EVIO data.
These are the primary steps involved in the HPS Java track reconstruction:
The tracking packages in lcsim form the basis for HPS's tracking algorithms through usage and extension. Seed Tracker is used for track finding using a set of input tracking strategies.
The track fit from lcsim is further refined using a Java implementation (port) of the GBL C++ algorithm.
Each track has a TrackType assigned which indicates the SeedTracker algorithm used, in a bitwise fashion, and sets bit 6 (2^5=32) if the track was refined by GBL. The TrackType is inherited by any particle and is obtained with the getType() method. See: TrackType and StrategyType for details.
This paper describes the LCIO track parameters.
These slides provide some details about how tracking strategies are used (see pages 4 & 8).
These are the basic steps of the ECal reconstruction:
The copied collection will be updated with corrected energies in the step which creates recon particles.
This CLAS Note describes the basic clustering algorithm.
This HPS Note covers position corrections and other analysis.
The ReconParticleDriver creates ReconstructedParticle objects representing the final state particles from the event reconstruction. These are tracks with matching clusters (when applicable). It also performs vertex reconstruction and creates a number of candidate particle collections.
The ReconParticleDriver is sub-classed by the actual HpsReconParticleDriver from the steering which adds Møller candidate collections.
