The problem of missing ITS tracks in the low B-field run was due to the excessive application (in the unrelated loop) of the scaling factor
<1(real_field/5kG) toparam.TrackletMinPt, leading toparam.TrackletMinPt~0.This PR fixes it by applying the factor only once, leading to improved reconstruction (compared to no scaling, red and blue on the plot below).
@mpuccio still, it is not clear why setting the
param.TrackletMinPtclose to 0 leads to the loss of tracks. I guess it is related to linesAliceO2/Detectors/ITSMFT/ITS/tracking/src/TimeFrame.cxx
