/* 
Given a track, evaluates the status of the track finding in the XY plane 
the point of tangent of the circle to the reference point(in general the PrimaryVertex or the BeamSpot)
 
The approach is the following.
Given a track, 
-extract the innermomentum at the innerpoint
-evalaute the radius of curvature and the center of the circle
-solving geometrical equation, evaluate the point of tangence to the circle, starting from the PV
-evaluate the status at this point of tangence T
