Revision 1.7  2000/09/19 15:50:46  gosset
TrackChi2MCS function: covariance matrix better calculated,
taking into account missing planes...

Revision 1.6  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 1.5  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

Revision 1.4  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)

Revision 1.3  2000/06/25 13:23:28  hristov
stdlib.h needed for non-Linux compilation

Revision 1.2  2000/06/15 07:58:48  morsch
Code from MUON-dev joined

Revision 1.1.2.3  2000/06/12 10:11:34  morsch
Dummy copy constructor and assignment operator added

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

Revision 1.1.2.1  2000/06/07 14:44:53  gosset
Addition of files for track reconstruction in C++
