We have a pull request which allows CKF tracking with real seeds: https://github.com/eic/EICrecon/pull/711
Two suggestions from software group:
- Whether to use truth or real seeds in the CKF factory is hardcoded right now; so, I made a separate factory for the real seeded tracking. We should instead rewrite the standard CKF factory so that the seed data object can be read from the tracking.cc file.
- In the EICRecon output file, a suggestion was to have separate data containers for the truth and realistic seeding. That is, we would have something like ReconstructedParticles_truthseeded and ReconstructedParticles_realseeded. Do we like this idea? Or would we prefer to just write ReconstructedParticles, with a user-controllable flag selecting either truth or real seeding?
