As Sho mentioned, the decay length I applied, which did not take the boost into account, would make the actual decay length much larger than intended. It would probably be best to test the procedure with known
(short) decay lengths to ensure that things actually pass through the SVT. I tried some mock data (mentioned in the track-assigning problem some time ago) and it had the same behavior, but you should also probably use your own, as opposed to tm_17mm as it
currently is.

Here’s a dump of the header and first event in the stdhep file.
The electron and positron from pdgid=622 do have a displaced vertex.

Here’s the output from slic:
And the start positions are all (0,0,0).
I’ll continue to investigate.
