[Hps-analysis] py/pz reconstruction

[Stepan Stepanyan]

Is it clear then why positives do not see significant single hit 
clusters or "shockingly" good alignment?

I count 19 peaks in ~0.113 units of tanLambda, so each peak is ~0.113/19 = 0.000595 in tanLambda (which is dy/dz between the two hits in L1 and L2, assuming that this is the track state at the vertex).  For layers separated by dz=100 mm (e.g. layers 1 and 2), that means the peaks represent a difference in rise of 100mm*0.000595 = 60 microns.  That is the strip pitch.  For this pattern to appear, some things need to be true:
