// Class IceDwalkx
// TTask derived class to perform (Amanda-like) direct walk track reconstruction.
// This class is kept to provide a procedure that can closely match the
// performance of the original Amanda direct walk-II algorithm as implemented
// in the Sieglinde reconstruction framework.
// For a more sophisticated direct walk reconstruction procedure, please refer
// to the class IceDwalk. 
// The IceDwalkx procedure is based on the method described in the Amanda
// publication in Nuclear Instruments and Methods A524 (2004) 179-180.
// However, the Amanda method has been extended with the intention to
// take also multiple (muon) tracks within 1 event into account.
// This will not only provide a means to reconstruct muon bundles and
// multiple track events in IceCube, but will also allow to reduce the
// background of faked upgoing muons as a result of multiple downgoing
// muons hitting the top and bottom parts of the detector.
// A further extension of the original Amanda method is the separate treatment
// of the phase and group velocities as introduced in collaboration with
// George Japaridze (Clark Atlanta University, USA) which will provide more
// accurate time residuals due to the different velocities of the Cerenkov
// wave front (v_phase) and the actually detected photons (v_group).
// This distinction between v_phase and v_group can be (de)activated via the
// memberfunction SetVgroupUsage(). By default the distinction between v_phase
// and v_group is activated in the constructor of this class.
// To prevent waisting CPU time in trying to reconstruct (high-energy) cascade
// events, or to select specifically reconstruction of low multiplicity events,
// the user may invoke the memberfunctions SetMaxModA() and SetMinModA().
// This allows selection of events for processing with a certain maximum and/or
// minimum number of good Amanda OMs firing.
// By default the minimum and maximum are set to 0 and 999, respectively,
// in the constructor, which implies no multiplicity selection.
// The maximum number of good hits per Amanda OM to be used for the reconstruction
// can be specified via the memberfunction SetMaxHitsA().
// By default only the first good hit of each Amanda OM is used to be consistent
// with the original Sieglinde direct walk procedure of the above NIM article.
// Note that when all the good hits of an OM are used, this may lead to large
// processing time in case many noise and/or afterpulse signals are not
// recognised by the hit cleaning procedure.
//
// Information about the actual parameter settings can be found in the event
// structure itself via the device named "IceDwalkx".
//
// The various reconstruction steps are summarised as follows :
//
// 1) Construction of track elements (TE's).
//    A track element is a straight line connecting two hits that
//    appeared at some minimum distance d and within some maximum
//    time difference dt.
//    The default values for d and dt are given in eq. (20) of the
//    NIM article, but can be modified by the appropriate Set functions.
//    For dt a default margin of 30 ns is used (according to eq. (20)),
//    but also this margin may be modified via the appropriate Set function.    
//    The reference point r0 of the TE is taken as the center between
//    the two hit positions and the TE timestamp t0 at the position r0
//    is taken as the IceEvent timestamp increased by the average of the
//    two hit times. So, all timestamps contain the overall IceEvent
//    timestamp as a basis. This means that time differences can be
//    obtained via the AliTimestamp facilities (supporting upto picosecond
//    precision when available).
//    The TE direction is given by the relative position of the two hits.
//
// 2) Each TE will obtain so called associated hits.
//    A hit is associated to a TE when it fulfills both the conditions
//
//      -30 < tres < 300 ns
//      dhit < 25*(tres+30)^(1/4) meter
//
//    tres : time residual
//           Difference between the observed hit time and the time expected
//           for a direct photon hit.     
//    dhit : Distance between the hit and the TE
//
// 3) Construction of track candidates (TC's).
//    These are TE's that fulfill both the conditions (see eq. (21) in the NIM article)
//
//     sigmal >= 20 meter
//     qtc >= 0.7*qtcmax
//
//     qtc=min(nah,0.3*sigmal+7)
//     qtcmax=max(qtc) of all TE's with sigmal>=20 meter
//
//    where we have used the observables :
//
//    nah    : Number of associated hits.
//    sigmal : rms variance of the distances between r0 and the projection
//             points on the track of the various associated hit positions. 
//
//    Note : The following additional quality selection as indicated
//           in the NIM article is not used anymore. 
//
//      nah >= 10
//
// 4) The remaining track candidates are clustered into jets when their directions
//    are within a certain maximum opening angle.
//    In addition the distance between their r0's must be below a certain maximum
//    or the relative r0 direction must fall within a certain maximum opening angle
//    w.r.t. the jet-starting track candidate.
//    The latter criterion prevents clustering of (nearly) parallel track candidates
//    crossing the detector a very different locations (e.g. muon bundles).
//    The default maximum track opening angle is 15 degrees, but can be modified
//    via the SetTangmax memberfunction.
//    The remaining parameters related to the r0 criteria can be modified via
//    the SetRtdmax and SetRtangmax memberfunctions.
//    See the corresponding docs for defaults etc...
//
//    The average of all the r0 and t0 values of the constituent TC's
//    of the jet will provide the r0 and t0 (i.e. reference point) of the jet.
//
// 5) The jets are merged when their directions are within a certain maximum
//    opening angle. Before the merging, all jets are ordered w.r.t. decreasing
//    number of associated hits. This guarantees that the jet with the largest
//    number of associated hits is the starting jet in the merging process.
//    In addition the distance between their r0's must be below a certain maximum
//    or the relative r0 direction must fall within a certain maximum opening angle
//    w.r.t. the starting jet.
//    The latter criterion prevents merging of (nearly) parallel tracks/jets
//    crossing the detector a very different locations (e.g. muon bundles).
//    The default maximum opening angle is half the TC maximum opening angle,
//    but can be modified via the SetJangmax memberfunction.
//    The remaining parameters related to the r0 criteria can be modified via
//    the SetRjdmax and SetRjangmax memberfunctions.
//    See the corresponding docs for defaults etc...
//
//    Note : Setting the maximum jet opening angle to <=0 will prevent
//           the merging of jets.
//
//    The average of all the r0 and t0 values of the merged jets will provide
//    the r0 and t0 (i.e. reference point) of the final jet.
//
// 6) The remaining jets are ordered w.r.t. decreasing number of associated hits.
//    Each remaining jet will provide the parameters (e.g. direction)
//    for a reconstructed track.
//    The track 3-momentum is set to the total jet 3-momentum, normalised
//    to 1 GeV. The mass and charge of the track are left 0.
//    The reference point data of the jet will provide the r0 and t0
//    (i.e. reference point) of the track.
//
//    All these tracks will be stored in the IceEvent structure with as
//    default "IceDwalkx" as the name of the track.
//    This track name identifier can be modified by the user via the
//    SetTrackName() memberfunction. This will allow unique identification
//    of tracks which are produced when re-processing existing data with
//    different criteria.
//    By default the charge of the produced tracks is set to 0, since
//    no distinction can be made between positive or negative tracks.
//    However, the user can define the track charge by invokation
//    of the memberfunction SetCharge().
//    This facility may be used to distinguish tracks produced by the
//    various reconstruction algorithms in a (3D) colour display
//    (see the class AliHelix for further details).  
//
//    Note : In case the maximum jet opening angle was specified <0,
//           only the jet with the maximum number of associated hits will
//           appear as a reconstructed track in the IceEvent structure.
//           This will allow comparison with the standard Sieglinde
//           single track direct walk reconstruction results. 
//    
// For further details the user is referred to NIM A524 (2004) 169.
//
// Note : This algorithm works best on data which has been calibrated
//        (IceCalibrate), cross talk corrected (IceXtalk) and cleaned
//        from noise hits etc. (IceCleanHits).
