Revision 1.11  2000/09/22 09:16:33  hristov
Casting needed on DEC

Revision 1.10  2000/09/19 09:49:50  gosset
AliMUONEventReconstructor package
* track extrapolation independent from reco_muon.F, use of AliMagF...
* possibility to use new magnetic field (automatic from generated root file)

Revision 1.9  2000/07/20 12:45:27  gosset
New "EventReconstructor..." structure,
	hopefully more adapted to tree/streamer.
"AliMUONEventReconstructor::RemoveDoubleTracks"
	to keep only one track among similar ones.

Revision 1.8  2000/07/18 16:04:06  gosset
AliMUONEventReconstructor package:
* a few minor modifications and more comments
* a few corrections
  * right sign for Z of raw clusters
  * right loop over chambers inside station
  * symmetrized covariance matrix for measurements (TrackChi2MCS)
  * right sign of charge in extrapolation (ExtrapToZ)
  * right zEndAbsorber for Branson correction below 3 degrees
* use of TVirtualFitter instead of TMinuit for AliMUONTrack::Fit
* no parameter for AliMUONTrack::Fit() but more fit parameters in Track object

Printout at the right place after extrapolation to vertex

Revision 1.6  2000/06/30 12:01:06  gosset
Correction for hit search in the right chamber (JPC)

Revision 1.5  2000/06/30 10:15:48  gosset
Changes to EventReconstructor...:
precision fit with multiple Coulomb scattering;
extrapolation to vertex with Branson correction in absorber (JPC)

Corrections against violations of coding conventions

Revision 1.3  2000/06/16 07:27:08  gosset
To remove problem in running RuleChecker, like in MUON-dev

Revision 1.1.2.5  2000/06/16 07:00:26  gosset
To remove problem in running RuleChecker

Revision 1.1.2.4  2000/06/12 08:00:07  morsch
Dummy streamer to solve CINT compilation problem (to be investigated !)

Revision 1.1.2.3  2000/06/09 20:59:57  morsch
Make includes consistent with new file structure.

Revision 1.1.2.2  2000/06/09 12:58:05  gosset
Removed comment beginnings in Log sections of .cxx files
Suppressed most violations of coding rules
