Detailed Description

Analysis-level structure for vertex-related information.

pat::VertexAssociation holds a reference to a vertex and extended information like the distance between the object and the vertex.

For convenience, pat::VertexAssociation behaves like a VertexRef, that is (*assoc) is a reco::Vertex.

The original proposal is at https://hypernews.cern.ch/HyperNews/CMS/get/physTools/587.html

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

pat::VertexAssociation::VertexAssociation ( )

inline

Create a null vertx association.

Definition at line 29 of file Vertexing.h.

{}

pat::VertexAssociation::VertexAssociation ( const reco::VertexRef &  vertex )

inline

Create a vertex association given a ref to a vertex.

Definition at line 31 of file Vertexing.h.

: vertex_(vertex) {}

pat::VertexAssociation::VertexAssociation ( const reco::VertexRef &  vertex, const reco::TrackBaseRef &  tk  )

inline

Create a vertex association given a ref to a vertex and a reference to a track object Note: you also have to set the distances, they can be computed by the VertexAssociation itself because it requires access to the magnetic field and other condition data.
