// Move geomCorrection to the concrete class. d.k. 06/06.
// Change drift direction. d.k. 06/06

// G. Giurgiu (ggiurgiu@pha.jhu.edu), 12/01/06, implemented the function: 
// computeAnglesFromDetPosition(const SiPixelCluster & cl, 
//                              const GeomDetUnit    & det ) const
//                                    09/09/07, replaced assert statements with throw cms::Exception 
//                                              and fix an invalid pointer check in setTheDet function 
//                                    09/21/07, implement caching of Lorentz drift direction
//                                    01/24/09, use atan2 to get the alpha and beta angles
// change to use Lorentz angle from DB Lotte Wilke, Jan. 31st, 2008
// Change to use Generic error & Template calibration from DB - D.Fehling 11/08
