Major Changes

  • Use Pattern Recognition pattern recognition in addition to GEANT model to determine which tiles and ribbons to associate with tracks
    • This allows us to handle near misses, which is needed to do efficiency studies
    • More detailed description of pattern recognition technique is here
  • Have information be associated with tracks, instead of having a single big set for the whole event
    • This makes using the event display much easier
    • This makes getting access to information in Recon root files easier
    • More information about new ACD recon data structures is here
  • Handle track errors correctly
    • This wasn't being done before
    • This looks nice in the event display
    • More information about error propagation is here
  • Sort ACD - track associations by a combined signal size/ distance quality measure instead of using only distance
    • This gets rid of problems with shadowing, where one association with a small signal masked another nearby one with a larger signal
    • More information about quality measures is here
  • Always calculate gaps to tiles
    • Before this was a hodge podge, we had to handle cases where the track hit ribbons, tiles and missed everything differently.
    • More information about how we treat gaps is here
  • Sort gaps by the probability that the track went into the gap, including the size of the gap and the error projection
    • Before gaps were sorted only by the distance to the gap

AcdTrk1RibbonActDist

Combination of two effects:

  1. Lots of associations with larger miss distances lost because they occur behind the head of the track.
  2. A small number of events have different ribbon selected because of the change in ordering
