Detailed Description

This class stores information about the Scintillation Light from the simulation of a small step of a track through the TPC active volume.

Scintillation information consists of both energy and number of photons. It is of paramount importance to understand what each field stores:

position: where the scintillation occurred (from Geant4 simulation)
track ID: Geant4 track ID of the ionizing particle
energy: amount of energy in G4Step (from Geant4 simulation)
photons: amount of photons reaching the optical detector

Note the different definition of the photons respect to the rest: it describes the photons at the OpticlaDetector, while all the other quantities can be related to the moment the scintillation happened.

The number of photons is the result of the OpFastScintillation sim, so no real photons are simulated.

Each SDP is also typically associated with a time (timePDclock) count, that is the time at which the scintillation photons are generated, as drift time is assumed to be zero for the photons. This time will differ from the time reflected in recob::OpHits as the time stored does not account for any signal processing time. The backtracker will handle that with a FCL parameter called Delay. Each experiment will have to determine the correct Delay to use with their system. For dune10KT the delay is ~300 ns.

The SDP (Scintillation Deposited Photons) records are generated in OpFastScintillation.cxx.
