cuts in the hit errors calibration procedure

 

Procedure for finding TPC hit errors uses following creteria to select tracks:

Global tracks

Number of the fit points >=25

|1/Curvature| <=1./200

|Pt/cos(Dip)|>=0.5

 

Since in the recent data amount of pile-up tracks is significatly higher compared to the times when the calibration procedure was developed.

It may be usufull add some cuts to suppress pile-up tracks. Some suggestions:

Use only gloabal tracks associated to primary tracks from the best vertex. Restrict Z position of the primary vertex.

Please find below the effect of the requirement mHitsG.mVertex==1
