CaloNHitCut Class Reference

The number of hits cut for the calorimeter. An event survives this selection if the number of hit planes in the calorimeter is greater than some value. To save computing time, the class assumes that the track is externally computed for each event and stored in CaloAxis objects; pointers to these objects are passed as arguments to the constructor. The Check method will then ignore the PamLevel2 *event and assume that the current content of the CaloAxis objects are relative to the current event. It is an user's task to ensure that these assumptions are fulfilled every time Check or ApplyCut are called. More...

Detailed Description

The number of hits cut for the calorimeter. An event survives this selection if the number of hit planes in the calorimeter is greater than some value. To save computing time, the class assumes that the track is externally computed for each event and stored in CaloAxis objects; pointers to these objects are passed as arguments to the constructor. The Check method will then ignore the PamLevel2 *event and assume that the current content of the CaloAxis objects are relative to the current event. It is an user's task to ensure that these assumptions are fulfilled every time Check or ApplyCut are called.

CUT DEPENDENCIES: CaloTrackCut for the existence of the track (it can also provide the CaloAxis objects).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CaloNHitCut::CaloNHitCut	(	const char *	cutName,
		CaloAxis *	xCaloAxis,
		CaloAxis *	yCaloAxis,
		int	nMinHit = 10
	)			[inline]

Constructor.

The CaloAxis arguments are pointers to objects which contain the calorimeter track information for current event.

Parameters:

	cutName	The cut name.
	xCaloAxis	The pointer to the CaloAxis object for X axis.
	yCaloAxis	The pointer to the CaloAxis object for Y axis.
	nMinHit	The minimum number of hits.

Member Function Documentation

int CaloNHitCut::Check

(

PamLevel2 *

event

)

[virtual]

The number of hit planes check.

The check is done by looking if there is a charge release near the track, using the CaloAxis class. If a charge greater than 0 is found by invoking CaloAxis::GetQ for at least nMinHit planes (both for X and Y) the condition is fulfilled.

Parameters:

event

The event to analyze.

Returns:

CUTOK if the track hits at least nMinHit planes both in X and Y.

0 otherwise.
