Variable Definitions:

  • Primary vertex:
  • Reference point: position is the point of closest approach to the centre of CMS
  • Helix parameters:
    • qoverp = q / abs(p) = signed inverse of momentum [1/GeV]
    • lambda = pi/2 - polar angle at the given point
    • phi = azimuth angle at the given point
    • dxy = -vx*sin(phi) + vy*cos(phi) [cm]
    • dsz = vz*cos(lambda) - (vx*cos(phi)+vy*sin(phi))*sin(lambda) [cm]
