use RKUTA to get the optimal mass resolution of the
spectrometer. The choice of HELIX or RKUTA is done in the
config file when the magnetic field is defined:
- AliMagFMaps* field = new AliMagFMaps("Maps","Maps", TRACKING, FACTOR, MAXB, AliMagFMaps::k4kG);
+ AliMagFMaps* field = new AliMagFMaps("Maps","Maps", TRACKING, FACTOR, MAXB, AliMagFMaps::k5kG);
gAlice->SetField(field);
TRACKING must be 1 for RKUTA and 2 for HELIX (the default value for aliroot is 2 (HELIX))
FACTOR allows you to set the magnetic field to 0, just putting FACTOR=0. Default value is 1.

+How to check the alignment software
+==========================================================
+
+The script AlirootRun_MUONtestAlign.sh allows you to check the software for
+the alignment with physics tracks. The script will:
+- Generate a misaligned geometry in a local CDB (default FullMisAlignCDB)
+- Simulate 1000 events using previously misaligned geometry
+- Reconstruct the events using perfect geometry
+- Run the alignment code over the above events using MUONAlignment.C
+
+To run you need to type:
+$ALICE_ROOT/MUON/AlirootRun_MUONtestAlign.sh
+
+The results of the test are saved in test_align/ directory. The file measShifts.root
+contains useful graphs for studying the alignment performances. A local CDB
+containing the realigned geometry is also created (default is ReAlignCDB). The
+file $ALICE_ROOT/MUON/data/transform2ReAlign.dat contains the
+transformations describing the realigned geometry to be compared with the
+used misaligned geometry $ALICE_ROOT/MUON/data/transform2.dat.
+
+IMPORTANT NOTE: For a useful test of the alignment performances, the
+order of 100 000 tracks is needed, it is then advisable to generate and
+reconstruct enough events separately and run MUONAlignment.C providing a file list
+afterwards.

How to Merge events
==========================================================
In this example, for simplicity, only the first hit of a
hit-track is used to check the particle ID.

+Macro to process PDC06 preproduction
+==========================================================
+
+To read a generation/reconstrution from PDC06 preproduction, and write a file
+with a tree of AliMUONTrackLight / AliMUONPairLight :
+go to the directory containing the generation/reconstruction. From there run
+aliroot
+.x DecodeRecoCocktail.C+
+.q
+
+To read the file previously generated:
+aliroot
+.x ReadRecoCocktail.C+
+.q
