Class RemoveMultipleTrackHitsCheater

java.lang.Object

org.lcsim.util.Driver

org.lcsim.recon.cheater.RemoveMultipleTrackHitsCheater

public class RemoveMultipleTrackHitsCheater
extends Driver

A driver to remove additional tracker hits from the same particle in a tracking layer. This happens in regions where tracker modules are overlapping.
The SeedTracker takes only one hit per layer and will create additional tracks from the extra hits. Not removing those additional hits leads to fake tracks as well as a huge loss in performance.
This driver uses monte carlo truth to identify hits belonging to the same particle. It should be run before digitization.
