Package FastSimulation/MuonSimHitProducer

Source code (CVS tag: @) - Administrative privileges

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
