== Tricks for saving time and memory ==
 
* Change the binning and/or range of the built-in histograms after constructing the corresponding <span style="color:#0000FF">DAnalysisAction</span> object.
 
* Because there may be many <span style="color:#0000FF">DParticleCombo</span> objects for an event, perform as many cuts as possible prior to kinematic fitting. 
 
** This includes extremely-loose cuts (well beyond the range at which your final cut will be) on all of the physical quantities of interest (e.g. mass peaks).
 
* To branch an analysis, create a new (but identical) <span style="color:#0000FF">DReaction</span> object (with the same <span style="color:#0000FF">DReactionStep</span> pointers), then simply repeat or change any of the <span style="color:#0000FF">DAnalysisActions</span>.
 
** If the <span style="color:#0000FF">DReactionStep</span> objects are re-used, the framework will realize that the <span style="color:#0000FF">DParticleComboBlueprintStep</span> objects will be the same, and will simply reuse them. 
 
*** Note that the <span style="color:#0000FF">DParticleCombo</span> objects will not be identical since they will contain a pointer to a different <span style="color:#0000FF">DReaction</span>.
 
*** If the kinematic fit type is also the same, it will skip the kinematic fit of the new <span style="color:#0000FF">DParticleCombo</span> objects entirely and just copy the previous results since they will be identical.
 
  
== RF Beam Bunch Selection & PID Details ==
 
 
=== How (Default Tag) RF bunch selection works for an event ===
 
* In <span style="color:#0000FF">DEventRFBunch_factory</span>: Use (in order of preference) (need at least one of):
 
 
# Tracks with good tracking FOM: SC hits
 
# Tracks with good tracking FOM: BCAL/TOF/FCAL hits
 
# All Tracks: SC hits
 
# All Tracks: BCAL/TOF/FCAL hits
 
# All Neutral Showers (assume all PIDs = photon)
 
# Use original DRFTime and set DEventRFBunch::dMatchedToTracksFlag to false
 
 
* Vote: select the RF bunch that matches the most times. The RF bunch times are the DRFTime +/- multiples of 2.004 ns.
 
 
=== How (Combo Tag) RF bunch selection works for each combo ===
 
* In <span style="color:#0000FF">DEventRFBunch_factory_Combo</span>:
 
 
# For each charged track in the combo, calculate its start time (from BCAL/TOF/FCAL hits)
 
# For each photon shower in the combo, calculate its start time (use weighted avg vertex-z of charged tracks)
 
# Calculate the weighted average start time from the above times.
 
# Select the RF bunch that is closest to this time.
 
 
=== How DChargedTrackHypothesis PID FOM calculation works ===
 
* Determine the track start time:
 
** Try: match the track to its RF bunch using the method described above.
 
** Else try: use the DEventRFBunch RF time if it was matched to other tracks.
 
** Else try: use the measured track t0 time (ST, CDC) (will fail if t0 time = t1 time (e.g. both CDC (e.g. no ST/TOF/etc. hits of any kind)))
 
** Note: each track may match to a different RF bunch: this allows the correct PID to be determined for background tracks originating from nearby beam buckets.
 
* Propagate both the TOF/BCAL/etc. time and the RF time to the track vertex, and compare them to calculate FOM. 
 
 
=== How DNeutralParticleHypothesis PID FOM calculation works ===
 
* Propagate photon shower times to the target center, compare them to the <span style="color:#0000FF">DEventRFBunch</span> time. PID FOM is disabled for massive showers (e.g. neutrons).
