pidSimulation

Project for simulating events for use in combined tof + dedx pid studies. Beased on a methods provided by Evan Sangaline.

1. Checkout project into working directoy
2. cd pidSimulation/bin
3. ./fullbuild
4. This will produce the executable "simulate"
5. Run the simulation with the default values with "./simulate" or run with a config file "./simulate config.xml"

#Configuration

A default configuration is hard coded, but xml configuration files can be used to override any value.
