Investigate & plot single particle files

[asalzburger]

In data/pdg13-n1-1GeV-0.5eta there are 100 single muon (PDG code 13) events simulated in a test detector.

The simulation was done with:

• constant magnetic field of 2 Tesla in direction (0,0,1)
• constant transverse momentum of 1 GeV
• restricted to |eta| < 0.5 to stay within the barrel region (eta is called pseudo-rapidity)
• without any material in the detector

Investigate the hits and particle content:

• [x] plot the hits in x/y plane (transverse view)
• [x] plot the hits in r/z plane (longitudinal view)

Look / research the concept of a Hough transform.

• Transverse view

Indeed in the x/y plane the trajectory resembles an arc of a circle. Some trajectories are more "curved" than others. I will look into the other features of those in order to gain more insight.

• Longitudinal view

Maybe are slightly bent, which is expected as the particles are high energetic.

• 3D view

Excellent.
