Readout Properties
LCGO drivers need to provide an implementation of an interface to query cellIDs, positions and neighbors:
Geometry Elements
Tracking Geometry
System of Units
it is probably desirable to have a well defined system of units a la Geant4, so that every quantity comes in the properly defined unit. So that one can write code, such as:
| Wiki Markup |
|---|
cout << " length of TPC \[cm\]: " << lcgo->getTPCParameters()->getLength() / cm << endl ; |
