Detailed Description

Time-of-Flight Geometry Utilities.

Author:
Frank Geurts
A package of geometry routines for the STAR Time-of-Flight detector. Methods include initialization from STAR dbase or local table (xdf-file) and extrapolation routines of tracks to the TOF slats.

Also mappings for DAQ-id to Slat-Id and vice-versa are available as through member functions.

Member Function Documentation

StThreeVectorD StTofGeometry::tofPlaneNormPoint ( const Int_t  slatId  )  const

calculate the normal vector to a slats-plane

tofSlatNormPoint and tofPlaneNormPoint do not always match each other because of uncertainties in phi measurments. but the difference is small.
