Interface CalorimeterHit

All Superinterfaces:

Cloneable, LCObject

All Known Implementing Classes:

ICalorimeterHit

public interface CalorimeterHit
extends LCObject

The generic calorimeter hit - created from SimCalorimeterHit or RawCalorimeterHit. The difference to RawCalorimeterHit is that amplitude ( energy) and time are now float and an optional position (x,y,z) can be stored with the hit. In order to suppress a (32-bit) pointer tag stored with every hit set flag(LCIO::RCHBIT_NO_PTR)==1.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
int	getCellID0() Returns the detector specific (geometrical) cell id.
int	getCellID1() Returns the second detector specific (geometrical) cell id.
float	getEnergy() Returns the energy of the hit in [GeV].
float	getEnergyError() Returns the error of the hit energy in [GeV].
float[]	getPosition() Returns the position of the hit in world coordinates.
LCObject	getRawHit() The RawCalorimeterHit.
float	getTime() Returns the time of the hit in [ns].
int	getType() Type of hit.

Method Detail

getCellID0

int getCellID0()

Returns the detector specific (geometrical) cell id.

getCellID1

int getCellID1()

Returns the second detector specific (geometrical) cell id. Optional, check/set flag(LCIO::RCHBIT_ID1)==1.

getEnergy

float getEnergy()

Returns the energy of the hit in [GeV].

getEnergyError

float getEnergyError()

Returns the error of the hit energy in [GeV]. Optional, check/set flag(LCIO::RCHBIT_ENERGY_ERROR)==1.

getTime

float getTime()

Returns the time of the hit in [ns]. Optional, check/set flag(LCIO::RCHBIT_TIME)==1.

getPosition

float[] getPosition()

Returns the position of the hit in world coordinates. NULL if information is not stored - check flag(LCIO::RCHBIT_LONG)==1.

getType

int getType()

Type of hit. Mapping of integer types to type names through collection parameters "CalorimeterHitTypeNames" and "CalorimeterHitTypeValues".

getRawHit

LCObject getRawHit()

The RawCalorimeterHit. As in the future there might be other types of raw calorimeter hits the return type is LCObject.
