Detailed Description

ATLAS interface of a detector element.

Detector element are connected with the Acts::SurfacePlacementBase and are usually responsible to align each surface properly. Further, they can provide information about the number of readout channels, the channel pitch, the channel length etc.

Member Function Documentation

detectorType()

virtual DetectorType ActsTrk::IDetectorElement::detectorType ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the detector element type.

Implemented in ActsDetectorElement, MuonGMR4::MdtReadoutElement, MuonGMR4::MmReadoutElement, MuonGMR4::RpcReadoutElement, MuonGMR4::sTgcReadoutElement, and MuonGMR4::TgcReadoutElement.

identify()

virtual Identifier ActsTrk::IDetectorElement::identify ( ) const

pure virtual

Return the ATLAS identifier.

localToGlobalTransform() [1/2]

virtual const Amg::Transform3D & ActsTrk::IDetectorElement::localToGlobalTransform ( const DetectorAlignStore * store ) const

pure virtual

Returns the reference to the aligned local to global transform from the DetectorAlignStore actually holding the transform of the Detector element.

Parameters

store

Pointer to the alignment store. If not provided the nominal transform is returned

Implemented in ActsDetectorElement, and MuonGMR4::MuonReadoutElement.

localToGlobalTransform() [2/2]

virtual const Amg::Transform3D & ActsTrk::IDetectorElement::localToGlobalTransform ( const GeometryContext & gctx ) const
