HFT Code Readiness

* Resolved some issues with IstFastSimMaker... Amilkar is using the code from $CVSROOT/offline/hft

   - Need to inform Thomas of the new changes

* HFT code Integration Status


HFT Sti Geometries

* General reminder: Sti volumes used in track reconstruction are defined based on the ROOT's TGeo geometry

* Gene tried to run over Run 13 data with PXL Sti geometry included

   - We do not use the PXL hits in reconstruction
   - We have three PXL sectors with sensitive material defined (see picture)
   - Sensitive/active Sti volumes defined directly from TGeoNodes
      o Originally Jonathan defined these as one Sti volume per ladder (not a critical change...)
   - y2013_1 does not have PSUP ===> Need to use another y2013 geometry
      o Only DTUH volume is available

* To do:

   - Switch to y2013 geometry that has all the three PXL sectors, DTUH, and PSUP
   - Add Sti volumes of inactive material between PXL layers 1 and 2
   - Check with Gene if there is any effect seen from the extra material

   - Investigate the issue with IST Sti geometry. Automatic conversion places some volumes in the center (see picture)
