Gaussian Sum Fitter implementation.

Note

This GSF implementation tries to be as compatible to the KalmanFitter as possible. However, strict compatibility is not garantueed.

Note

Currently there is no possibility to export the states of the individual components from the GSF, the only information returned in the MultiTrajectory are the means of the states. Therefore, also NO dedicated component smoothing is performed as described e.g. by R. Fruewirth.

Template Parameters
  • propagator_t – The propagator type on which the algorithm is built on

  • bethe_heitler_approx_t – The type of the Bethe-Heitler-Approximation

  • traj_t – The MultiTrajectory type (backend)

Public Types

using GsfActor = detail::GsfActor<bethe_heitler_approx_t, traj_t>

The actor type.

using GsfNavigator = typename propagator_t::Navigator

The navigator type.

Public Functions

inline GaussianSumFitter(propagator_t &&propagator, bethe_heitler_approx_t &&bha, std::unique_ptr<const Logger> _logger = getDefaultLogger("GSF", Logging::INFO))

The fit function for the Direct navigator.

The fit function for the standard navigator.

The generic implementation of the fit function.

TODO check what this function does with the referenceSurface is e.g. the first measuerementSurface

inline const Logger &logger() const
