Hi.
I've implemented a preliminary fix to the "bogus track candidate"
problem I brought up at the previous tracking meeting. (For those that
were not present, the default cdc track finder frequently gets confused
when dealing with tracks crossing each other or decaying particles such
as Lambdas causing V-like patterns , generating many more track
candidates than actual tracks). I have updated the wiki page
(https://halldweb1.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/Problems_with_track_finding_in_CDC)
where I first highlighted the problem with an explanation of the
technique and some reconstructed lambda and kzero events. I have
created a new command-line flag to turn on/off this behavior: set
-PTRKFIND:FILTER_SEEDS=1 to enable the new algorithm. By default for
now it is off.
