Detailed Description

ABC interface for all endcap muon CSC radial strip topologies.
In the Endcap Muon CSCs, the cathode strips are strictly fan-shaped, each subtending a constant azimuthal angle, and project to a point. In every station and ring except for ME13 the nominal (perfect) geometry has this point of intersection (approximately) on the beam line. That constraint is unused as far as possible in order to allow non-perfect geometry and misalignment scenarios.
Note that the base class RST is concrete but this class is again abstract (for both historical and operational reasons.)
Alternate strip layers in each CSC are relatively offset by half-a-strip width (except in ME11) so the CSCStripTopology must be an OffsetRadialStripTopology, rather than a simple RadialStripTopology in which the long symmetry axis of the plane of strips is aligned with the local y axis of the detector.

		float	ymid
	)

Constructor

Parameters:

ns	number of strips
aw	angular width of a strip
dh	detector height (extent of strip plane along long symmetry axis))
r	radial distance from symmetry centre of strip plane to the point at which the outer edges of the two extreme strips (projected) intersect.
aoff	offset of y symmetry axis from local y as fraction of angular strip width.
ymid	local y of symmetry centre of strip plane _before_ it is offset.
