# Montecarlo Changes     #
##########################
Barbara Dalena
-Simulation of the responce of the scintillator (TOFINO-TOFONE)
 and light attenuation in slab (UGEOM,GUSTEP,TIME_DE)
-Possibility to consider the adronic interaction of charged and neutral
 particle(tracks) with the sensitive material (except for K-) calling
 the FLUKA or MICAP/FLUKA interface
-Minor changes in background simulation (QUASIFREE,CONVERSL,SIGDECAY...)
Stefano Piano
- Changes from "NAME" to "FILE" in opening file, for compilation with gfortran
- new scripts for compilation with gfortran

# Reconstruction Changes #
##########################
Stefano Piano
- New routines: helcross, bihelcross, helcptmp
- Modifications to longtrk and shortrk to calculate coshel with helcross
- New vertfit for K- K+ secondary vertex search
- Modifications to genecde LLOC for inserting info in zebra
- Modification to prtrk-prtrl to eliminate negative "protons" and
  to check charge consistency of tracks
- Modifications to massrec to discriminate in mass also for LMDs

Barbara Dalena
-Simulation of the responce of the scintillator (TOFINO-TOFONE)
 and light attenuation in slab (TOFDEMC)
-How retrieve GEANT IPART associate to single hit in I/OSIM
 DCH1/2 and TOFONE slab (neutral particle in TOFONE need more
 refinement, work in progress).
-minor changes in neutfind in order to work for montecarlo data

Luigi Benussi
- Fix for non-physical straw tubes radii

Alessandra Filippi
** FIRRCDE: general - new variables for kinematic fit, new covariance matrix **
o FIRCCDE,GENECDE.
- example of kinematic fit (Kmu2 case, MUPKIN flagged)
  -> new variables in output ntuple
- insertion of LLOC parameter in ZEBINI: number of location of track bank,
covariances excluded. Different for +/- SHORT and MCARLO modes.
o FIRRCDE,FITCDE.
- insertion of covariance matrix

**FIRRCOD/FIDAREC: general - add up one more variable in FDST bank, 6 more
variables in POST/NEGT banks - conditional drop on vtx bank hits (to be
written on dst)**
o FIRRCOD,GENREC.
- extension of data vector of FDST bank to host in location 7 the
reconstruction code version number.
Positive for standard p.r., negative for SHORT version
o FIRRCOD,GENRECMC.
- extension of data vector of FDST bank to host in location 7 the
reconstruction code version number
- extension of data vector of NEGT bank to host 6 covariances in the
last 6 locations. LLOC variable must be updated fixing the present limit of
the vector. NEGT bank only!!!
o FIRRCOD,PRTRK
- extension of data vector of NEGT/POST bank to host 6 covariances in the last
6 locations. LLOC variable must be updated fixing the present limit of teh
vector
o FIRCCOD, NOISE
- conditional drop of isim/osim noise hits
o FIDAREC,SHORTRK.
- add covariances to LTRAK bank. Check compliance of LLOC variable.
o FIDAREC,LONGTRK.
- add covariances to LTRAK bank. Check compliance of LLOC variable.

**TRAFIT: general: add track covariances to track banks **
(alpha version, under test)

o TRAFIT,BLANKDEK
- cleanup of old useless comments
o TRAFIT,FITGEN.
- add covariances
o TRAFIT,RESVAR.
- init covariance vector for spline fit
o TRAFIT,WINERR.
- write covariances for backward tracks, spline fit
o TRAFIT,HELFIT.
- init convariance vector for spline fit
o TRAFIT,HERRFB.
- write covariances, helix fit
o TRAFIT,STRFIT.
- init covariance vector for straight line fit
o TRAFIT,STRAFB.
- write covariances, spline fit

**FIRRDST: DST use update, example of application of kinematic fit for a simple
case **
o FIRDDST,DSTUPK.
- correction for multiple file readout
o FIRDDST,UHBCLO.
- correction for multiple writeout
o FIRDDST,USWORK.
- code update
- insertion of kinematic fit example, MUPKIN flagged (Kmu2 decay)
o FIRDDST,UHBINI.
- insertion of kinematic fit example, MUPKIN flagged (Kmu2 decay),
ntuple booking
KINEMATIC FIT PACKAGE
**kinematic fit alpha version implementation**
New patch FIKINFIT containing the following new decks, originally written by
