Test if particles are based on the
same object
- XSAME (I,J)
- = .TRUE.
if tracks I and J or one of their daughters,
granddaughters, etc. are based on the same object (see
7.6) or, in other words, belong to the same family (see
10.2.3). I and J must both be reconstructed tracks or
MC particles; they may, however, belong to different
Lorentz frames. XSAME uses the same bit masks as the
lock algorithm.
XSAME(IJET,ITK)
can be used for testing whether a track ITK belongs to
a given jet (see 10.3).
An example how to use XSAME in reconstructing decay chains
is given in 7.4.5, example 2.
