While I don't think we will ever implement this is hardware, this looks like a sensible feature to have in that:
- it will make HDF5 files easier to browse;
- it will make it easier to apply ML methods to the reconstruction, as the event structures become effectively one-dimensional;
- it would like make the simulation and reconstruction cleaner and slightly faster.
(In the past I think we had to apply some pre-processing before training NNs on circular events.)
I would go as far as saying that this new readout should be the default for all the simulations.
@augustocattafesta thoughts?
