//  The TRD offline tracklet
//
// The running horse of the TRD reconstruction. The following tasks are preformed:
//   1. Clusters attachment to tracks based on prior information stored at tracklet level (see AttachClusters)
//   2. Clusters position recalculation based on track information (see GetClusterXY and Fit)
//   3. Cluster error parametrization recalculation (see Fit)
//   4. Linear track approximation (Fit)
//   5. Optimal position (including z estimate for pad row cross tracklets) and covariance matrix of the track fit inside one TRD chamber (Fit)
//   6. Tilt pad correction and systematic effects (GetCovAt)
//   7. dEdx calculation (CookdEdx)
//   8. PID probabilities estimation (CookPID)
//
//  Authors:                                                              //

//   - zcorr : switch for using z information to correct for anisochronity 
//            and a finner error parameterization estimation [default false]  
// Output :
//  True if successful
//
// Detailed description
//
//            Fit in the xy plane
// 
// The fit is performed to estimate the y position of the tracklet and the track 
// angle in the bending plane. The clusters are represented in the chamber coordinate 
// system (with respect to the anode wire - see AliTRDtrackerV1::FollowBackProlongation() 
// on how this is set). The x and y position of the cluster and also their variances 
// are known from clusterizer level (see AliTRDcluster::GetXloc(), AliTRDcluster::GetYloc(), 
// AliTRDcluster::GetSX() and AliTRDcluster::GetSY()). 
// If gaussian approximation is used to calculate y coordinate of the cluster the position 
// is recalculated taking into account the track angle. The general formula to calculate the 
// error of cluster position in the gaussian approximation taking into account diffusion and track
// inclination is given for TRD by:
// BEGIN_LATEX
// #sigma^{2}_{y} = #sigma^{2}_{PRF} + #frac{x#delta_{t}^{2}}{(1+tg(#alpha_{L}))^{2}} + #frac{x^{2}tg^{2}(#phi-#alpha_{L})tg^{2}(#alpha_{L})}{12}
// END_LATEX
//
// Since errors are calculated only in the y directions, radial errors (x direction) are mapped to y
// by projection i.e.
// BEGIN_LATEX
// #sigma_{x|y} = tg(#phi) #sigma_{x}
// END_LATEX
// and also by the lorentz angle correction
//
//            Fit in the xz plane
//
// The "fit" is performed to estimate the radial position (x direction) where pad row cross happens. 
// If no pad row crossing the z position is taken from geometry and radial position is taken from the xy 
// fit (see below).
// 
// There are two methods to estimate the radial position of the pad row cross:
//   1. leading cluster radial position : Here the lower part of the tracklet is considered and the last 
// cluster registered (at radial x0) on this segment is chosen to mark the pad row crossing. The error 
// of the z estimate is given by :
// BEGIN_LATEX
// #sigma_{z} = tg(#theta) #Delta x_{x_{0}}/12
// END_LATEX
// The systematic errors for this estimation are generated by the following sources:
//   - no charge sharing between pad rows is considered (sharp cross)
//   - missing cluster at row cross (noise peak-up, under-threshold signal etc.).
// 
//   2. charge fit over the crossing point : Here the full energy deposit along the tracklet is considered 
// to estimate the position of the crossing by a fit in the qx plane. The errors in the q directions are 
// parameterized as s_q = q^2. The systematic errors for this estimation are generated by the following sources:
//   - no general model for the qx dependence
//   - physical fluctuations of the charge deposit 
//   - gain calibration dependence
//
//            Estimation of the radial position of the tracklet
//
// For pad row cross the radial position is taken from the xz fit (see above). Otherwise it is taken as the 
// interpolation point of the tracklet i.e. the point where the error in y of the fit is minimum. The error
// in the y direction of the tracklet is (see AliTRDseedV1::GetCovAt()):
// BEGIN_LATEX

// The error in y direction is the error of the linear fit at the radial position of the tracklet while in the z 
// direction is given by the cluster error or pad row cross error. In case of no pad row cross this is given by:
// BEGIN_LATEX
// #sigma_{y} = #sigma^{2}_{y_{0}} - 2cov^{2}(y_{0}, dy/dx)/#sigma^{2}_{dy/dx} + #sigma^{2}_{dy/dx}
// #sigma_{z} = Pad_{length}/12
// END_LATEX
// For pad row cross the full error is calculated at the radial position of the crossing (see above) and the error 
// in z by the width of the crossing region - being a matter of parameterization. 
// BEGIN_LATEX
// #sigma_{z} = tg(#theta) #Delta x_{x_{0}}/12
// END_LATEX
// In case of no tilt correction (default in the barrel tracking) the tilt is taken into account by the rotation of
// the covariance matrix. See AliTRDseedV1::GetCovAt() for details.
