ForwardTracking Documentation

Forward Tracking is the software for track search in the forward direction of the ILD.

Here is a short description of the folders in the include and src directories:

Analysis

Processors for analysing some part of an event.

TrueTrackCritAnalyser

For analysing the values of the criteria (as used by the Cellular Automaton) when applied to true tracks

OverlapChecker

Very small processor to see what tracks are sharing hits

StepAnalyser

Processor to analyse the path a track takes through the FTD

Executables

A bunch of executables for different tasks

CritRunner

QuantileAnalyser

param_runner

param_runner_background

ForwardTracking

Standallone track reconstruction of tracks in the FTD

ForwardTracking

Reconstructs tracks for the current representation of the FTD

FTDNoise

Processors to add artificial background on the FTD to simulate more accurate events

FTDBackgroundProcessor

Simulates background for the FTD

rootscripts

Some root scripts used to work with analysis data in root files. Most of it is hardcoded.

TrackingFeedback

Feedback about the track reconstruction quality

TrackingFeedbackProcessor

Gives feedback about the quality of track reconstruction

TrueTrack

A class to help the TrackingFeedbackProcessor. It represents a true track.

RecoTrack

A class to help the TrackingFeedbackProcessor. It represents a reconstructed track.

TrackPicker

TrackPickProcessor

A small processor to pick single tracks or a group from some basic tracks and stores them in as a collection. Pretty much hardcoded and only used for debugging so far, so beware.
