Event and Track classes The Event class is a naive/simple example of an event structure. public: char fType[20]; char *fEventName; //run+event number in character format Int_t fNtrack; Int_t fNseg; Int_t fNvertex; UInt_t fFlag; Double32_t fTemperature; Int_t fMeasures[10]; Double32_t fMatrix[4][4]; Double32_t *fClosestDistance; //[fNvertex] indexed array! EventHeader fEvtHdr; TClonesArray *fTracks; TRefArray *fHighPt; //array of High Pt tracks only TRefArray *fMuons; //array of Muon tracks only TRef fLastTrack; //pointer to last track TRef fHistoWeb; //EXEC:GetHistoWeb reference to an histogram in a TWebFile TH1F *fH; TBits fTriggerBits; //Bits triggered by this event. The EventHeader class has 3 data members (integers): public: Int_t fEvtNum; Int_t fRun; Int_t fDate; The Event data member fTracks is a pointer to a TClonesArray. It is an array of a variable number of tracks per event. Each element of the array is an object of class Track with the members: private: Float_t fPx; //X component of the momentum Float_t fPy; //Y component of the momentum Float_t fPz; //Z component of the momentum Float_t fRandom; //A random track quantity Float_t fMass2; //The mass square of this particle Float_t fBx; //X intercept at the vertex Float_t fBy; //Y intercept at the vertex Float_t fMeanCharge; //Mean charge deposition of all hits of this track Float_t fXfirst; //X coordinate of the first point Float_t fXlast; //X coordinate of the last point Float_t fYfirst; //Y coordinate of the first point Float_t fYlast; //Y coordinate of the last point Float_t fZfirst; //Z coordinate of the first point Float_t fZlast; //Z coordinate of the last point Double32_t fCharge; //Charge of this track Double32_t fVertex[3]; //Track vertex position Int_t fNpoint; //Number of points for this track Short_t fValid; //Validity criterion Int_t fNsp; //Number of points for this track with a special value Double32_t *fPointValue; //[fNsp] a special quantity for some point. TBits fTriggerBits; //Bits triggered by this track. An example of a batch program to use the Event/Track classes is given in this directory: MainEvent. Look also in the same directory at the following macros: - eventa.C an example how to read the tree - eventb.C how to read events conditionally During the processing of the event (optionally) also a large number of histograms can be filled. The creation and handling of the histograms is taken care of by the HistogramManager class. Note: This version of the class Event (see EventMT.h and EventMT.cxx for an alternative) uses static variables to improve performance (by reducing the number of memory allocations). Consequently, only one instance of the class Event should be in use at a time (a 2nd instance would share the array of Tracks with the first instance).
Double_t | fBoostWeight | internal weight to be set by boosting algorithm |
UInt_t | fClass | signal or background type: signal=1, background=0 |
Bool_t | fDynamic | is set when the dynamic values are taken |
vector<Float_t> | fSpectators | "visisting" variables which are never used for any calculation |
vector<Float_t> | fTargets | target values for regression |
vector<Float_t> | fValues | the event values |
vector<Float_t*>* | fValuesDynamic | the event values |
vector<UInt_t>* | fVariableArrangement | needed for MethodCategories, where we can train on other than the main variables |
Double_t | fWeight | event weight (product of global and individual weights) |
Create an Event object. When the constructor is invoked for the first time, the class static variable fgTracks is 0 and the TClonesArray fgTracks is created.
