calculate()

bool TwoTrackMinimumDistanceLineLine::calculate	(	const GlobalTrajectoryParameters &	theG,
		const GlobalTrajectoryParameters &	theH
	)

Calculates the point of closest approach on the two tracks.

Returns

false in case of success
true in case of failure. Possible failures:

• Either of the Trajectories are charged
• Either of the Trajectories is of zero momentum
• Trajectories are parallel
