function getID

inline int getID() const

Getter for custom id of track.

Return: The custom track id

function getParentID

inline int getParentID() const

Getter for parent’s track id of track.

Return: The parent’s custrom track id

function finalizeInfo

void finalizeInfo(
    const G4Track *const aTrack
)

Update track info from the G4Track.

Parameters:

• aTrack A pointer to a G4Track instance which represents this track’s final state

function getStartPoint

inline const ROOT::Math::XYZPoint & getStartPoint() const

Get the point where the track originated in global coordinates.

Return: Track start point

function getEndPoint

inline const ROOT::Math::XYZPoint & getEndPoint() const

Return: The total energy in MeV of the particle at the beginning of the track

function getKineticEnergyFinal

inline double getKineticEnergyFinal() const

Getter for the kinetic energy the particle had when the track terminated.

Return: The kinetic energy in MeV of the particle at the end of the track

function getTotalEnergyFinal

inline double getTotalEnergyFinal() const

Getter for the total energy (i.e. kinetic energy and dynamic mass) the particle had when the track terminated.

Return: The total energy in MeV of the particle at the end of the track
