Detailed Description

Helper construct implementing the (re)estimation of the drift length for various hit objects.

Member Function Documentation

updateDriftLength()

void updateDriftLength

(

CDCFacet &

facet

)

Reestimate the drift length of all three contained drift circles.

Using the additional flight direction information the accuracy of the drift length can be increased alot helping the filters following this step
