This package is a sample implementation of base classes for muon (or
general tracking) track fitting and finding.
Discussion of the ATLAS muon software structure may be found at
http://www.usatlas.bnl.gov/~dladams/musys.
Status
Development of prototype in progress.
Components
The components here are listed in dependency order. Each component depends
only on those listed above it.
Base class for a surface in track parameter space. The interface needs to
be fleshed out.
Representation of a track at a surface.
Base class for a reconstructed hit. This is a view of a digitization
or cluster of digitizations that can be used to fit a track.
Holds the result of a propagation.
Interface for propagating a TrackFit to a new surface.
Holds the state of a track at one point along its trajectory.
This is the transient representation of a track. It is made up
of a series of track states and a propagator to interpolate
between them and extrapolate beyond them. If the states are
complete and optimal, the this track may be used to obtain
optimal track parameters at any surface crossed by the track.
