We have changed the way that we organize the ACD reconstruction data by adding an extra layer in which we group all the data about each track. Before all the data from all the track were stored together. This improvement has two main advantages:
- It makes it easier to sort and access the information, since we are often just working with the best track in the event, or we only care about the best associations for a given track.
- It makes it easier to interface to the event display, since for each track we only want to display the best associations for that track
New ACD recon data structures
...
Every event now has a AcdEventTopology structure in AcdRecon to keep track of all the event based data such as AcdTotalEnergy, AcdTileCount, etc. Before these were all stored individually. The wrapper is mainly just there to clean up the interfaces a bit.
Track Based
Each track (and the vertex) has an AcdTkrAssoc object which stores:
