[Frost] About MVRT bank

Thanks Eugene,
I understand.

I will add more cuts in my code.
  1. compare the vertex position between GPID.vertex and MVRT.vertex
  2. compare the sc_time with st_time
  3. check MVRT.chi2
  4. compare mass_ref of the each particle.

I have one more question about vertex.
Do I use the MVRT vertex information as the input parameter of ELoss Correction?
Until now, I used the GPID vertex information.
If so, Do I need to use the MVRT vertex information when I need to use the vertex?
Thanks very much.

Best Wishes

Sung
