Calorimetry




The ECAL class corresponds to the ATLAS electromagnetic calorimeter, which has 3 samplings in depth.

The ECAL class provides clusters (ECAL_CLUSTER).

An ECAL_CLUSTER is an isolated region of energy deposition from one or more particles. It is characterized by three coordinates in space, for the energy-weighted centroid, and its width in those coordinates.
