Description

The MuonSimHitProducer package propagates the muon particle through the muon chambers, and generates the same objects as the corresponnding g4SimHit producer, namely:

A collection of PSimHit with label "MuonCSCHits";
A collection of PSimHit with label "MuonDTHits";
A collection of PSimHit with label "MuonRPCHits".

The following material effects can be switched on in the muon chambers:

dE/dx (default: ON);
multiple scattering (default: ON);
bremssstrahlung (not yet fully implemented, default: OFF).

An emulation of the RecHit reconstruction inefficiency due to delta-ray emission is implemented (at the level of SimHit's), and it is customizable separately in CSC and DT through the parameters simHitCSCIneffParameters and simHitDTIneffParameters
