Detailed Description

Produces SimHits in the tracker layers.

Also assigns the energy loss of the particle (ionization) with the SimHit. Furthermore, SimHits from different SubModules have to be sorted by their occurance!

createHitOnDetector()

std::pair< double, std::unique_ptr< PSimHit > > fastsim::TrackerSimHitProducer::createHitOnDetector	(	const TrajectoryStateOnSurface &	particle,
		int	pdgId,
		double	layerThickness,
		double	eLoss,
		int	simTrackId,
		const GeomDet &	detector,
		GlobalPoint &	refPos
	)

Helper funtion to create the actual SimHit on a detector (sub-) module.

Parameters

particle	Representation of the particle's trajectory
pdgId	The pdgId of the particle
layerThickness	The thickness of the layer (in radLengths)
eLoss	The energy that particle deposited in the detector (lost via ionisation)
simTrackId	The SimTrack this hit should be assigned to
detector	The detector element that is hit
refPos	Reference position that is used to sort the hits if layer consists of sub-detectors \ return Returns the SimHit and the distance relative to refPos since hits have to be ordered (in time) afterwards.
