Hi Lia,

I am implementing the function that you get the tracklength between two point on the track at the moment. Concerning this topic I found the follwoing post:

Quote:

concerning geane, in the case of propagation to closest approach to the wire/point, there is a function of CbmGeanePro called GetlengthAtPCA() which returns the track length at the point of closest approach. This returns the complete track length (not only the xy projection).

Concerning the propagation to a defined volume or plane this function does not work, since the variable trklength is not filled.

Indeed if I use GetLengthAtPCA inside GeaneTrackRep (where we only extrapolate to planes) I always get 0.

So how can we have trklength be filled also for propagation to planes?

Cheers! Sebastian.

Hi!

I have checked in a new version of CbmGeanePro where I added the following:

void CbmGeanePro::Propagate(Int_t PDG) {
  // main propagate call to fortran ERTRAK

  GeantCode=fdbPDG->ConvertPdgToGeant3(PDG);

  gMC3->Ertrak(x1,p1,x2,p2,GeantCode, fPropOption.Data());
  std::cout<<"gMC3->TrackLength="<<gMC3->TrackLength()<<std::endl;
  trklength=gMC3->TrackLength();

}

So now trklength is set for every Propagation. But I think there was some issue, that when we do it this way, the precision of trklength is limited to the stepsize??

In the recotasks/demo there is now a DemoToolsTask, which demosnatrate how to get the tracklength between two points.

Cheers!
Sebastian.

Cheers! Sebastian.

Hello Sebastian,
I have spoken with Lia and I think that this is the correct
solution: we actually did the same for the PCA extrapolation
in the EUFILL function.
The tracklength value depends on the stepsize, but I
do not see other ways to do it: by propagating to a plane,
GEANE has a step calculated so to finish on the plane and
the number should be quite correct.

Ciao,
Andrea

Hi Sebastian, i was trying to run the macros in demo directory.
But after having run runDemo.C with geane switched ON,
i get nothing.
Do you know why?

my best regards
ALicia.
