TrkDetElementBase Package

Introduction

This package contains the base class Trk::TrkDetElementBase for the tracking detector elements. This allows for common usage of the detector elements for all tracking detectors including both the Inner Detector and the Muon Spectrometer

Usage Notes

Most methods have two forms. One with no parameters and one which take an Identifier as an argument. The first form corresponds to the whole detector element. For example the silicon wafer in the Pixel and SCT detectors or a whole straw layer in the TRT. The second form is for detector elements that contain multiple surfaces (such as the MDT and TRT) and allow access to the individual straws or tubes.
