  1. Preface
  2.    The routines were written mainly by Eduardo Ramirez now a graduate student at the University of Colorado.  Some changes were made by Alejandro Mirles and Carlos Rivera.  I supervised the complete development of this software.   The basis of the algorithm was put forth by Jim Wiss in his memo, "A Muon Identification Algorithm for E831".  Jim's memo, "       ", discusses the question of the approximate chi-squared distribution at high momentum.

  4.     It's possible this section is all you may need or want to read.
  5.     The inner muon algorithm identifies muons by looking for hits in the inner muon detector which are consistent with the 5-chamber track being identified.  A minimum number of such hits is required in order for the algorithm to continue processing the track.  This number is 4 for tracks with momentum (p
