Nested Relationships

This struct is a nested type of Template Class EigenStepper.

Struct Documentation

struct Acts::EigenStepper::State

State for track parameter propagation.

It contains the stepping information and is provided thread local by the propagator

Public Functions

State() = delete
template<typename charge_t>
State(const GeometryContext &gctx, MagneticFieldProvider::Cache fieldCacheIn, const SingleBoundTrackParameters<charge_t> &par, NavigationDirection ndir = forward, double ssize = std::numeric_limits<double>::max(), double stolerance = s_onSurfaceTolerance)

Constructor from the initial bound track parameters.

Note

the covariance matrix is copied when needed

Template Parameters

  • charge_t: Type of the bound parameter charge

Parameters

  • [in] gctx: is the context object for the geometry

  • [in] mctx: is the context object for the magnetic field

  • [in] par: The track parameters at start

  • [in] ndir: The navigation direciton w.r.t momentum

  • [in] ssize: is the maximum step size

  • [in] stolerance: is the stepping tolerance
