This tool is used for splitting tracks in different segments and returning fitted tracks that have the corrisponding hits associated with them.

Currently it is for seen to split tracks in:

Upper and Lower track segment for cosmics (However there are lingering problems fitting TRT only tracks)

Tracks using alternating hits. (odd and even)

Usages: 1) If you have a single track and want to split in to upper and lower do

m_trackSplitterTool->splitInUpperLowerTrack(inputtrack); ->splitInOddEvenHitsTrack(inputtrack);

2) If you have a track collection and want to create track collections with upper and lower tracks do

m_trackSplitterTool->splitTracks(inputTracks);

then retrieve the collection from storeGate with the names m_outputUpperTracksName, m_outputLowerTracksName
