Detailed Description

Class providing access to a set of relevant parameters of a trajectory in a Curvilinear frame. The set consists of the following paramters: \ q/p: charged particles: charge(plus or minus one) divided by magnitude of momentum neutral particles: inverse magnitude of momentum lambda: the helix dip angle (pi/2 minus theta(polar angle)), defined in the global frame phi: the angle of inclination with the global x-axis in the transverse (global xy) plane xT: transverse position in the global xy plane and it points left when looking into the direction of the track yT: transverse position that forms a right-handed frame with xT and zT

Note that the frame is tangent to the track at the point of definition, with Z_T parallel to the track

{}

CurvilinearTrajectoryParameters::CurvilinearTrajectoryParameters ( const AlgebraicVector5 &  v, bool  charged = true  )

inline

Constructor from vector of parameters Expects a vector of parameters as defined above. For charged particles he charge will be determined by\ the sign of the first element. For neutral particles the last argument should be false, in which case the charge of the first element will be neglected.

inline

Constructor from vector of parameters Expects a vector of parameters as defined above. For charged particles the charge will be determined by the sign of the first element. For neutral particles the last argument should be false, in which case the charge of the first element will be neglected. Constructor from individual curvilinear parameters Expects parameters as defined above.
