/* class PFTauTransverseImpactParameter
 * 
 * Stores information on the impact paramters and flight length of the hadronic decay of a tau lepton
 *
 * author: Ian M. Nugent
 * This work is based on the impact parameter work by Rosamaria Venditti and reconstructing the 3 prong taus.
 * The idea of the fully reconstructing the tau using a kinematic fit comes from
 * Lars Perchalla and Philip Sauerland Theses under Achim Stahl supervision. This
 * work was continued by Ian M. Nugent and Vladimir Cherepanov.
 * Thanks goes to Christian Veelken and Evan Klose Friis for their help and suggestions.
