Hello hps-software,

I have recently noticed something odd with reconstruction for Monte Carlo,
and wanted to see if any recon experts could comment on it.

I ran readout over a pure tri-trig MC sample (with ~500 empty events
spacing to prevent overlap) using the 2016 pair 1 steering file.

/steering-files/src/main/resources/org/hps/steering/readout/PhysicsRun2016TrigPairs1.lcsim


The only change that I made was to disable noise on the SVT and calorimeter.

Doing this produces results as I would expect, and I see that every event
registers at least two GTP clusters during readout, as it must for a pair
trigger.

However, when I run recon, I find that many events have either no clusters
or only one cluster after recon, and that the recon energies are often a
lot lower than the readout energies. Consider for example a few of the
following event logs:

This is a bit confusing to me - I would expect that we should always see at
least two clusters. I suspect that this is related to whatever is causing
the drop in energy. This seems to occur on the hit level, and presumably
some of the clusters and/or hits are coming up below whatever the cut-off
threshold is for inclusion and thus being dropped. I'm not completely sure,
though. Can any recon experts comment on what is going on here?

Thanks,

Kyle
