# Notes
## Naming
* `X` stands for spectrometer name:
* `h` for HMS
* `p` for SHMS
* `s` for SOS
* `Y` stands for plane name.
* `N` stands for sequential number
## Constants
* `raddeg = 3.14159265/180`
* Conversion from degrees to radians.
* real
* `DBASE/general.param`
# Tracking
* `Xsel_using_scin = 0`
* Use scintillator for track selection.
* {0, 1} bool
* `THcHallCSpectrometer::fSelUsingScin`
# Drift chambers
## `Xdc.param`
* `Xdc_sigma`
* Sigma of wire chamber resolution for each plane.
* [double]
* `THcDC::fSigma`
* `Xdc_tdc_min_win`
* TDC window lower limit for each plane.
* [int]
* `THcDC::fTdcWinMin`

* `Xdc_wire_velocity`
* Wire velocity.
* double
* `THcDC::fWireVelocity`
* `Xdc_central_time`
* Some sort of central time for each plane. Used for hit time correction.
* [int]
* `THcDC::fCentralTime`
## `Xdc.pos`
* `Xdc_num_planes`
* Total number of drift chamber planes in detector.
* int
* `THcDC::fNPlanes`
* `Xdc_num_chambers`
* Number of drift chambers in detector.
* int
* `THcDC::fNChambers`
* `Xdc_zpos`
* z position in cm for each plane measured from focal plane.
* [double]
* `THcDC::fZPos`
* `Xdc_alpha_angle`
* Angle alpha of wires for each plane in radians. Basically, angle of wires
in x-y plane.
* [double]
* `THcDC::fAlphaAngle`
* `Xdc_beta_angle`
* Beta angle of wires for each plane in radians.
* [double]
* `THcDC::fBetaAngle`
* `Xdc_gamma_angle`

* y position of center of each wire chamber.
* [double]
* `THcDC::fYCenter`
* `Xdc_central_wire`
* Wire number of center of wire chamber for each plane. Basically, this is
number of imaginary wire, that would cross center of plane. Wire numbers
start with 1.
* [double]
* `THcDC::fCentralWire`
* `Xdc_chamber_planes`
* Number chamber that each plane belongs to. Chamber number starts with 1.
* [int]
* `THcDC::fNChamber`
* `Xdc_wire_counting`
* Order in which wires are counted in each plane.
* `Xdc_wire_counting == 0 : center = (wire - Xdc_central_wire) * pitch`

distance from the center of the wire divided by the velocity of propagation
times Xdc_drifttime_sign(plane). +/-1 for disc. card at +/- coord. (i.e.
top = -x direction, so top readout is +1)
