Detailed Description

Author:

J.Bendavid

Version:

Check hits along a Trajectory and count how many are before the vertex position. (taking into account the uncertainty in the vertex and hit positions. Also returns a the signed decay length and uncertainty from the closest hit on the track to the vertex position.
