[Halld-offline] [EXTERNAL] request for help from tracking group

[Naomi Jarvis]

Hi,

I think there might be something wrong with the FOMs from the
timebased tracks but I'm not really sure what I should expect.   The plots
below are for timebased tracks in the CDC with no reaction specified.  The
code snippet is below.  It's from the plugin CDC_TimeToDistance, maybe
there's a mistake in here.

I have been looking at track DOCA with time and found that selecting larger
FOMs made very little difference to this, although so far I only looked at
values from 1e-8 to 0.1. I have a few jobs with minimum FOM between 0.1 and
1 still running.

   vector <const DChargedTrack *> chargedTrackVector;

   loop->Get(chargedTrackVector);


   for (unsigned int iTrack = 0; iTrack < chargedTrackVector.size();
iTrack++){


      const DChargedTrackHypothesis* bestHypothesis =
chargedTrackVector[iTrack]->Get_BestTrackingFOM();


      // Cut very loosely on the track quality

      auto thisTimeBasedTrack = bestHypothesis->Get_TrackTimeBased();

      if(!thisTimeBasedTrack->IsSmoothed) continue;


      if (thisTimeBasedTrack->FOM < MIN_FOM) continue;  // was 1e-10


Naomi.
