This assumption is valid for a thin material.
If it is not, we can always slice the material into thin enough sublayers and
apply the method explained here repeatedly.
For a high momentum track, a different treatment is possible as
described later.

- Notice that the helix parameter
vector so obtained is the one for the original track before energy loss and
multiple scattering, which can then be used for vertexing.
It should be also noted that the track segments combined here may
belong to detector regions with different magnetic fields, as long
as the fields can be regarded as constant in each region.

In Subection 2.4.c, we have Taylor-expand
Eq.2.1.1 to the lowest order to get a straight line track.
The track model here, on the other hand, corresponds to
the next order approximation.

If the new pivot is within the sensitive volume of the tracker which
measured the track in question, we should drop the ES term,
since the multiple scattering effects
in the tracker must presumably be included
in the original error matrix.

Notice that,
in the high momentum limit where the track can be approximated
by a parabola, EM is determined solely by the configuration
of the tracking detector in question:
the y-locations of sampling points
and the spatial resolutions thereat.

As a matter of fact, whether the
particle track is measured before or after the multiple scattering
does not make any difference in the result.

Notice that the independent variables here are thus and
, E'MS in the above expression is diagonal
when we use which is with its component
set equal to that of .
This implies that the components of E'MS-1 corresponding to
all but and are infinity or in other words
those of E'MS are zero.
Although E'MS-1 is ill-defined in this sense, we can treat
the infinite components as if they are
finite no matter how large and at the end of
calculations let them go to infinity.
