    Dear Flemming and Djamel;
    Let me add something to this discussion.
    The digitization in DCs is done by applying BrDrivierDC which knows everything
    about the DCs geometry. If e.g., the geant track, at some plane, is out of the
    plane
    active volume the DC hit is not produced. So, it could happen that for track
    close to the
    edge of the active volume, only some fraction of the track will be digitized.
    
    There is also a simple way to check whether a gean track is within a DC volume
    even
    you don't do digitization.
    In case of T5 just do :
    BrDriverDC *T5Driver = new BrDriverDC("T5",T5");
    ......
    Int_t TrackStatus = T5Driver->LineAcceptanceStatus(ghit->GetLocalLine(),0);
    
    where ghit is a T5 geant hits associated with a given geant track. Second
    integer
    in LineAcceptanceStatus refer to the number of the most side wires (in x and y
    view)
    excluded from the acceptance. LineAcceptanceStatus returns
    0 - track out of the acceptance;
    2- track accepted at DC entry and at DC exit.
    1- track accepted only at DC entry or only at DC exit.
    
    Regards Pawel.
