The HITS storage

Since release 308 Brahms supports the new common data model and storage model LCIO. Output of hits is realised in the LCIO data model. The reader is referred to the LCIO manual for a detailed documentation of the quantities stored, and for methods to access the information.

The hits file contains also information about the detector geometry used in the simulation. This is read by the reconstruction program an used to build it accordingly.

For backwards compatibility the old method of storing hits etc in Brahms has been retained. The following documentation is only concerned with the old method.
