Detailed Description

Abstract base class for constraints of kinematic fits.

This class defines the minimal functionality any constraint class must provide. First of all a constraint should know on with particles (or FitObject) it is applied. Where as for example a constraint on the total transvese momentum takes into account all particles in the event, an invariant mass constraint usually applies only to a subset of particles.

The particle list is implemented as a vector containing pointers to objects derived from ParticleFitObject and can be either set a whole (setFOList) or enlarged by adding a single ParticleFitObject (addToFOList).

From the four–momenta of all concerned fit objects the constraint has to be able to calculate its current value (getValue). Constraints should be formulated such that a value of zero corresponds to a perfectly fulfilled constraint.

In order to find a solution to the constrained minimisation problem, fit algorithms usually need the first order derivatives of the constraint with respect to the fit parameters. Since many constraints can be most easily expressed in terms of E, px, py, pz, the constraints supply their derivatives w.r.t. these parameters. If a FitObject uses a different parametrisation, it is its own task to provide the additional derivatives of E, px, py, pz w.r.t. the parameters of the FitObject. Thus it is easily possible to use FitObjects with different kinds of parametrisations under the same constraint. Some fit algorithms also need the second derivatives of the constraint, i.e. the NewtonFitter.

First and second order derivatives of each constraint can be added directly to the global covariance matrix containing the derivatives of all constraints w.r.t. to all parameters (add1stDerivativesToMatrix, add2ndDerivativesToMatrix). This requires the constraint to know its position in the overall list of constraints (globalNum).

◆ add1stDerivativesToMatrix()

void add1stDerivativesToMatrix ( double *  M,
int  idim 
) const
virtualinherited

Adds first order derivatives to global covariance matrix M.

Parameters
MGlobal covariance matrix, dimension at least idim x idim
idimFirst dimension of array der

Definition at line 37 of file BaseHardConstraint.cc.

◆ add2ndDerivativesToMatrix()

void add2ndDerivativesToMatrix ( double *  M,
int  idim,
double  lambda 
) const
virtualinherited

Adds second order derivatives to global covariance matrix M.

Calculates the second derivative of the constraint g w.r.t.

the various parameters, multiplies it by lambda and adds it to the global covariance matrix

in case of particlefitobject: We denote with P_i the 4-vector of the i-th ParticleFitObject, then $$ \frac{\partial ^2 g}{\partial a_k \partial a_l} = \sum_i \sum_j \frac{\partial ^2 g}{\partial P_i \partial P_j} \cdot \frac{\partial P_i}{\partial a_k} \cdot \frac{\partial P_j}{\partial a_l}

  • \sum_i \frac{\partial g}{\partial P_i} \cdot \frac{\partial^2 P_i}{\partial a_k \partial a_l} $$ Here, $\frac{\partial P_i}{\partial a_k}$ is a $4 \times n_i$ Matrix, where $n_i$ is the number of parameters of FitObject i; Correspondingly, $\frac{\partial^2 P_i}{\partial a_k \partial a_l}$ is a $4 \times n_i \times n_i$ matrix. Also, $\frac{\partial ^2 g}{\partial P_i \partial P_j}$ is a $4\times 4$ matrix for a given i and j, and $\frac{\partial g}{\partial P_i}$ is a 4-vector (though not a Lorentz-vector!).

but here it's been generalised

First, treat the part $$ \frac{\partial ^2 g}{\partial P_i \partial P_j} \cdot \frac{\partial P_i}{\partial a_k} \cdot \frac{\partial P_j}{\partial a_l} $$

Second, treat the part $$ \sum_i \frac{\partial g}{\partial P_i} \cdot \frac{\partial^2 P_i}{\partial a_k \partial a_l} $$ Here, $\frac{\partial g}{\partial P_i}$ is a 4-vector, which we pass on to the FitObject
