Minor developments

description: Hello, I updated the CbmEmc.cxx file. Now the materials are loaded from the media_pnd.geo file, while before they were hardcoded. This changes even some media parameters of the early version, which was almost taken from the CBM ecal. In particular for PWO. material__OLD_____NEW epsil______0.1____0.001 madfld___100.0___AUTO maxstep___0.1____AUTO maxde_____0.1___AUTO minstep____0.1____AUTO where: float epsil - boundary crossing precision EPSIL float madfld - maximum angular deviation TMAXFD due to field float maxstep - maximum step permitted STEMAX float maxde - maximum fractional energy loss DEEMAX float minstep - minimum value for step STMIN It should not affect too much the analysis. In each case the "AUTO" values are automatically calculated by geant, so they can be trusted more than with the old setup.

description: Hello, I introduced inside the MCTrack the function GetEmcPoints(). In this case, when looping inside MCTracks, one can get particles that hit the EMC. I add a point only when a particle enters (IsTrackEntering()), even for particles that do not create a Point (eloss == 0). In this case one can understand even if a photon (that does not lose energy) hit the EMC volume (good for acceptance studies, in general only the secondary electron should lose energy thus creates the point). I am not so sure if it is the case to add points for all the steps. I am scared to lose too much time in this computation. In each case, we can modify it when we want. Bye

description: Hi, I updated the PndEmcHeader class and the correlated stuff. Now one can have the momentum (in x/y/z) of the sum of all the EMC clusters (assuming they are photons/electrons). In this way one can cut on these variables in order to be sure that his neutral channel is completely reconstructed. Hope it helps, bye Ste
