Reconstruction Cheater

Simulated events can be fully reconstructed by a ReconCheater that uses Monte Carlo truth to reconstruct individual particles. Charged tracks found by the TrackingCheater and calorimeter clusters found by the ClusterCheater are used to provide the basis for full event reconstruction. Various options and parameter settings in a Cheating properties file or Cheating Table for each detector are used to mix reconstructed tracks and clusters with Monte Carlo particles. Options for obtaining various measures of the neutral energy deposition, and for controlling decays and nuclear interactions are included.

To add the ReconCheater to a driver, use

add(new org.lcsim.recon.cheater.ReconCheater());

The TrackingCheater and ClusterCheater drivers will be added by the ReconCheater.

To access reconstructed particles, use

event.get(ReconstructedParticle.class)
