Detailed Description

Basic tool for "propagation" of trajectory states to surfaces. If the starting state has an error matrix the errors will be also propagated. If you want to propagate just the parameters, construct a starting state that does not have errors. In case of propagation failure (e.g. when the trajectory does not cross the destination surface) and invalid state is returned. Always check the returned state with isValid() before using it!

The propagation can be "alongMomentum" or "oppositeToMomentum" (see setPropagationDirection() below). The difference between the two is the sign of energy loss: the trajectory momentum decreases "alongMomentum" and increases "oppositeToMomentum". In both directions extrapolation errors and multiple scattering errors increase. Propagation "oppositeToMomentum" is convenient for fitting a track "backwards", sterting from the last measurement.

The propagator interface promises to take you to "any surface" but you should check the concrete propagator you are using for additional limitations.

derived classes have to implement the PropagateWithPath for Plane and Cylinder

The methods propagateWithPath() are identical to the corresponding methods propagate() in what concerns the resulting TrajectoryStateOnSurface, but they provide in addition the exact path length along the trajectory.Only use the generic method if the surface type (plane or cylinder) is not known at the calling point.

The following three methods are equivalent to the corresponding methods above, but if the starting state is a TrajectoryStateOnSurface, it's better to use it as such rather than use just the FreeTrajectoryState part. It may help some concrete propagators.Only use the generic method if the surface type (plane or cylinder) is not known at the calling point.

Returns the current value of the propagation direction. If you need to know the actual direction used for a given propagation in case "propagationDirection() == anyDirection", you should use propagateWithPath. A positive sign of path lengt means "alongMomentum", an egeative sign means "oppositeToMomentum".

virtual bool Propagator::setMaxDirectionChange ( float  phiMax)
inlinevirtual

Set the maximal change of direction (integrated along the path) for any single propagation. If reaching of the destination surface requires change of direction that exceeds this value the Propagator returns an invalid state. For example, a track may reach a forward plane after many spirals, which may be undesirable for a track reconstructor. Setting this value to pi will force the propagation to fail. The default value is "no limit". The method returnd true if the concrete propagator respects the limit, false otherwise.

The propagation direction can now be set for every propagator. There is no more distinction between unidirectional and bidirectional at class level. The value "anyDiriction" for PropagationDirection provides the functionality of the ex-BidirectionalPropagator. The values "alongMomentum" and "oppositeToMomentum" provide the functionality of the ex-UnidirectionalPropagator.
