// Description:
//  Class RhoFindOmittedParticle.
//  Given resonance (Y(4S)) momentum, B0 momentum, and
//  K0L mass at creation, this object then finds the best
//  candidate for the K0L 4-momentum given the 4-momentum
//  of the J/psi and the direction of the neutral cluster.
//
//  Because this is a general utility class, B0 is labeled Child,
//  Y(4S) is labeled Reson (for Resonance), J/psi is labeled Obs
//  (for Observed), and K0L is labeled Sought (for the calculated
//  values) or Seen (for the actual IFR/EMC cluster).
//
//  Constructor takes CM 4-momentum, Child mass, and Sought mass.
//
//  fitToSeen() calls makeCone(), then closestFit().
//
//  makeCone() finds the possible Sought 4-momenta given the Observed
//  momentum.
//
//  closestFit() finds the best fit between the cone of possibilities
//  and the Seen neutral cluster.
//
//  secondVector() returns the second momentum found by closestFit()
//  but rejected as an inferior fit, for diagnostic purposes.
//
//  If there is demand, a function may be added to extract the
//  parameters of the cone describing possible Sought momenta;
//  makeCone() and closestFit() would then be made public;
//  or perhaps a subclass could implement this functionality.
//
//  Note: this class by default currently only works in
//  coordinate systems with the boost along the z-axis.
//  Setting zBoostApprox to false overrides this.
//  Note: this class currently assumes (as is the case for B0->J/psi KL)
//  that in the resonance CM (Y(4S)) frame, the 3-momentum of the
//  observed (J/psi) particle is much larger than the child (B0)
//  3-momentum, insuring that the CM angle between the observed and
//  sought (KL) is greater than pi/2.  (In the language of this class,
//  openCos>0, since we use the opposite of the observed momentum).
//
// Environment:
//  Software developed for the BaBar Detector at the SLAC B-Factory.
