class ISurfacesProvider

#include <Acts/Detector/interface/ISurfacesProvider.hpp>

This is the interface for providing surfaces to the detector building process.

These surfaces manly describe the sensitive detector surfaces, but also passive (i.e. material carrying) surfaces are considered.

These could be prefilled, or created on demand when the detector is built (to increase memory locality)

Subclassed by Acts::Experimental::KdtSurfacesProvider< kDIM, bSize, reference_generator >, Acts::Experimental::LayerStructureBuilder::SurfacesHolder

Public Functions

virtual ~ISurfacesProvider() = default

virtual std::vector<std::shared_ptr<Surface>> surfaces(const GeometryContext &gctx) const = 0

The virtual interface definition for detector surface providers.

Parameters

gctx – the geometry context at the creation of the internal structure

Returns

a shared detector object
